Fleury turned aside 31 of the 32 shots he faced in Wednesday's Game 1 victory against the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury was making the start as Matt Murray (undisclosed) suffered an apparent injury during warmups. The veteran looked great turning back the Blue Jackets, and is worth using in DFS at a nice price if he gets the nod again in Game 2 on Friday.

Fleury will start between the pipes in Wednesday's Game 1 against Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
Matt Murray was supposed to start Wednesday's contest, but he left warmups prematurely after sustaining an apparent injury, which is why Fleury will get the starting nod in his place. Fleury will hope his play at the end of the regular season won't be representative of his postseason efforts, as he struggled down the stretch, posting an 0-2-1 record with an ugly 3.92 GAA and .892 save percentage in his last three outings.

Fleury allowed four goals on 29 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss against the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
The Penguins were playing a bit shorthanded, while the Maple Leafs were in desperation mode trying to secure the final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference. It wasn't a good spot for Fleury, who was making the start so the team could rest Matt Murray and get him ready for the playoffs.

As expected, Fleury will protect the crease as Saturday's road starter versus the Maple Leafs, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not always a recommended practice to take stock in a goalie's career splits against a given team, but Fleury is an exception since one can extract a pretty good picture from his 13 campaigns spent exclusively with Pittsburgh. While he's 18-9-4 against them in 33 career outings, the peripherals -- including a 2.90 GAA and .899 save percentage -- leave a lot to be desired.

Fleury will likely start against Maple Leafs on Saturday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Matt Murray didn't participate in Saturday's morning skate and the team recalled Tristan Jarry from the Baby Penguins. Fleury stopped 41 of 43 shots in a relief effort in Toronto on Dec. 17, 2016 in his only appearance against the Maple Leafs in 2016-17.

Fleury allowed five goals on 31 shots during Wednesday's loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Transitioning into a backup role hasn't been easy for Fleury, and his .911 save percentage and 2.99 GAA are disappointing marks. Pittsburgh has a single back-to-back set remaining this season, so there is a chance Fleury won't start again until April 8 or April 9. It isn't out of the question to replace him in seasonal leagues if you need immediate results from a roster spot. This is also a potential buy-low spot in keeper/dynasty settings, as Fleury could become a No. 1 starter with another franchise in 2017-18.

Fleury will get the start against Chicago on Wednesday, DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
His stock has never been higher in 2016-17. Fleury has posted better numbers than fellow netminder Matt Murray over the last month and the team is content to go with the hot tender. Pittsburgh will look to lean on Fleury as it once again plays with a depleted defense.

Fleury could be in line for additional playing time, given his recent strong play and starter Matt Murray's struggles. "Performance is always the dictating factor," coach Mike Sullivan said Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury has looked more relaxed and confident since the trade deadline passed. He's gone 3-0-1 with a 1.31 GAA and .959 save percentage in his last four starts, while Murray has posted a 4-2-1 mark (including a 2.98 GAA and .908 save percentage) since March 5.

Fleury allowed three goals on 46 shots in Friday's 4-3 shootout against the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury was peppered with shots all evening, including 21 shots alone in the final period of regulation. All things considered it was actually a pretty solid showing. As a result of the loss Matt Murray is likely to get the starting nod at home against the Flyers next time out.

Fleury will start between the pipes in Friday's home game against the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Fleury has played well in the month of March, compiling a 3-1-1 record while maintaining an impressive 1.67 GAA and .946 save percentage over five appearances. The 32-year-old netminder will look to stay dialed in and pick up his 19th win of the season in a favorable home matchup with an Islanders team that's 14-16-5 on the road this season.
