Fleury made his season debut last Saturday but was a healthy scratch on Thursday. Tonight he will replace Trevor van Riemsdyk and is expected to skate alongside Dougie Hamilton.

Fleury spent most of his time with the Hurricanes last year, picking up eight assists in 67 games. The former No.7 overall pick has posted strong offensive numbers at lower-levels but will be limited in Carolina because of their depth on the blueline.

Fleury was a healthy scratch for the last two games but he will replace Klas Dahlbeck in the second game of a back-to-back tonight vs. the Bruins. Fleury, who put up decent offensive numbers in the WHL and AHL certainly hasn’t done so at the NHL level yet. In his first 54 career games (all this season) the 21-year-old has just six assists.

Fleury has been a healthy scratch for six of the last seven games, but will draw back in on a pairing with Justin Faulk vs. the Capitals. Fleury has five assists, a minus-1 rating a six PIMS in 30 games this season.

Fleury came out of the Hurricanes lineup on Saturday but will draw back in this afternoon in Toronto. Fleury, who will play with Justin Faulk, has just four assists in 29 games this season.

Fleury, 19, was the seventh overall pick in the 2014 NHL Draft and he held on until the end of trading camp, but will head back to Red Deer, where he had 28 points (6G / 22A) in 63 games a season ago.
