Fleury was not at his best on Wednesday. He allowed five goals on 25 shots in a rare blowout loss for the Penguins. Tonight he will face a gritty Blues team and the NHL's leading scorer Alex Steen (14). Fleury is not the greatest backstop, but he should receive plenty of goal support on a regular basis, making him a consistent strong fantasy play.

Fleury is off to a perfect 5-0 start to the season after allowing just two goals on 22 shots vs. Edmonton on Tuesday. He has a great chance of moving to 6-0 against a struggling Flyers offence tonight.

Fleury is 3-0-0 and has allowed only three goals on 82 shots. It is the best start of his 10-year career. New Jersey, Buffalo and Carolina rarely tested Fleury consistently, though there were moments when he was required to, and made, sensational saves. Tampa Bay is a significantly stronger offensive outfit than any of the Penguins’ opening four opponents, so the first blip on Fleury's stat line could come tonight.
Fleury was a few minutes away from a second straight shutout, until a Thomas Vanek batted the puck out of the air and passed the Pens netminder. In his first two games Fleury has allowed just one goal on 48 shots (.979 SV%). He has a solid matchup vs. the Hurricanes.
The 2013-14 regular season could not have started any better for Fleury. He stopped all 27 shots he faced, recording shutout number one on the season. He will face a Sabres team tonight that has only scored one goal in their first two games.
Fleury had a good regular season going 23-8-0 with a 2.39 GAA and .916. However it was the playoffs in which he struggled yet again (3.51/.883). Fleury is a strong fantasy option because of the team he plays behind. The Penguins are Stanley Cup favourites once again so as long as Fleury does not collapse he will be a solid number-1.
After posting a shutout in Game1 there is no doubt that Fleury will get the nod in Game 2. He should be able to record wins with regulairity throughout the playoffs with the amount of talent in front of him.
The Penguins should have no problem taking care of the Islanders in this first round series. The Isles are not a bad team but Pittsburgh is just too good. Fleury is looking to put last year's disappointing playoff performance behind him. He was fantastic 23-8-0 with a 2.39 GAA and .916 SV% in the regular season. However he has been pulled in each of his last two home starts vs. the Islanders.
Fleury has allowed three goals on 32 shots in each of his last two starts; both losses. He will get the nod in the season finale against the Hurricanes. He should make for one of the best starts in a busy night in the NHL.
