Fleury allowed four goals on 28 shots in the Golden Knights 6-4 win over the Capitals in Game 1. Fleury wasn’t at his best in Game 1, but he has been brilliant all postseason and is now 3-0 against the Capitals this season.

Fleury was pulled in his final start of the regular season, but had an excellent year and will be key in the Golden Knights postseason success.

Spurgeon has been sidelined since March 13th with a hamstring tear, but it looks like he will be ready to go for Game 1 in Winnipeg. Spuregon skated next to Carson Soucy on the second pairing and it looks like he’ll play despite maybe not being 100 percent. Spurgeon’s return is huge with Ryan Suter (ankle) on the shelf and comes in with 37 points (9G / 28A) in 61 games this season.

The Rangers are “not counting” on having Zuccarello for the final three games of the season after he got hurt while blocking a shot in Carolina on Saturday. Zuccarello will undergo and MRI to determine the severity, but he’s likely done for the year.

Fleury allowed three goals on 32 shots in the Golden Knights loss to the Coyotes on Wednesday. He was given last night off, so he is expected to go tonight vs. the Sharks. The veteran is 15-8-2 with a 2.37 GAA and .921 SV% on home ice this season.
