Fleury had a disastrous outing in Game 6 against the Caps on Monday, allowing five goals on just 26 shots in a 5-2 loss.
EDGE Analysis
Uh oh. That's back-to-back duds for the Flower, who has now allowed a whopping nine goals in the last two games -- both of which unsurprisingly amounted to losses. With the series now tied 3-3 heading back to D.C. for a deciding Game 7 on Wednesday, Fleury will need to be a whole lot better if the Pens hope to make it back to the Eastern Conference Final.

Fleury will defend the net in Game 6 against the Capitals, CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury uncharacteristically struggled in the club's Game 4 loss to the Caps, allowing four goals on 32 shots in the game. Some of it can be blamed on the blueliners ahead of him, but the club as a whole couldn't close out the Capitals despite holding a 2-1 lead entering the third period. Pittsburgh returns home with another chance at doing so Monday.

Fleury will work between the posts Saturday, facing the Capitals for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, Monumental Sports Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Flower has been blooming this series, allowing just nine goals through the first four games. His 36-save output Wednesday was enough to nail down a victory, despite the concussion-related absences of all-world pivot Sidney Crosby and burgeoning winger Conor Sheary. Rumors are swirling that at least one of those forwards could return for Game 5, which would substantially add to the intrigue of deploying Fleury in daily formats. The Penguins can put the Capitals away with just one more win this series.
