Fleury posted 19 saves on 21 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Penguins. The third goal was an empty-netter
Fleury had a strong outing against his former team, but the Wild failed to provide him with much goal support. He posted a clean first period before the Penguins put two goals past Fleury in the final two periods. The 40-year-old netminder has a 12-8-1 record with a 2.73 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 22 games this season. While Fleury is seeing less action for Minnesota due to his age and role behind Filip Gustavsson, he has still been a solid option in fantasy when his name has been called. Fleury is good for a spot start in all formats but is unlikely to see consistent ice time moving forward.

Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Facing Penguins
Rotowire
Fleury will patrol the home crease against Pittsburgh on Sunday, per Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News.
Fleury has a 12-7-1 record with one shutout, a 2.76 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 21 appearances this season. The 40-year-old netminder plans to retire after the 2024-25 campaign, so this will probably be the final time he will share the ice with the Penguins. Fleury spent most of his career in Pittsburgh, playing 691 regular-season games there and winning three Stanley Cups.

Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: On hook for six goals Thursday
Rotowire
Fleury stopped 25 of 31 shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to Utah.
The Wild were also nearly doubled up in shots (31-16), so this was an all-around bad performance for the visitors. Fleury's six goals allowed matched his season high. There's some room for concern, as Fleury has given up at least five goals in three of his last seven outings, though he has gone 3-4-0 in that span. For the season, the 40-year-old netminder is 12-7-1 with a 2.76 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 21 outings. Filip Gustavsson is likely to get the nod for Friday's game in Colorado to wrap up the Wild's quick two-game road trip.

Rotowire
Fleury turned aside 32 of 34 shots in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Bruins, with Boston's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The veteran netminder kept the Bruins off the board in the first period, but Charlie McAvoy tipped a puck past Fleury early in the second, and the Wild were never able to solve Jeremy Swayman in the other crease. Fleury has been mostly sharp since the beginning of January, going 5-3-0 in eight outings with a 2.24 GAA and .926 save percentage as Filip Gustavsson has struggled to find his form.

Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Shines in hometown win
Rotowire
Fleury turned aside all 19 shots faced in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Canadiens.
It was an emotional night for Fleury, who may have played his last game in Montreal, which is about a hour's drive from his hometown of Sorel, Quebec. Canadiens fans serenaded the local boy, who recorded his first shutout of the season and 76th of his career in the NHL. Fleury improved to 11-5-1 and lowered his goals-against average to 2.60 through 18 appearances (16 starts). No longer a No. 1 goalie, the 40-year-old still has skills and has won five of his last seven starts. The Wild, who have won three straight, next play Saturday night in Ottawa.

Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Burned by Flames on Saturday
Rotowire
Fleury turned aside 24 shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Calgary.
Two of the Flames' goals came on power plays and he had little chance on two others, but Fleury's reflexes betrayed him on Andrei Kuzmenko's game-winner in the third period, as Fleury went into his butterfly a fraction of a second early and couldn't recover in time to get to the far post on a wraparound. Fleury has dropped two of his last three decisions, giving up five goals in each, but the 40-year-old future Hall of Famer has shown he still has something left in the tank while seeing a fairly heavy workload in January, going 4-2-0 in six starts with a 2.67 GAA and .915 save percentage.

Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Stellar in win
Rotowire
Fleury stopped 36 of 37 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.
Fleury had been battling an illness earlier in the week, but he was able to handle the goaltending duties for the first half of a back-to-back. The Sharks actually put forth a pretty good effort, but Fleury was up to the task, allowing just a William Eklund tally in the second period. This was Fleury's third straight win, and he's allowed just four goals on 83 shots in that span, which includes one relief appearance. He's now 9-3-1 with a 2.54 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 14 appearances. Filip Gustavsson is likely to start Sunday in Vegas, but he's been struggling lately, which could open the door for Fleury to see a larger share of starts if those struggles persist.

Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Expected to serve as backup
Rotowire
Fleury (illness) took the ice for warmups and is expected to serve as the backup goalie for Thursday's home game against the Avalanche, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Fleury was deemed questionable to suit up Thursday, but the Wild's organizational goaltending depth is in dire straits with injuries to Jesper Wallstedt (undisclosed) and Dylan Ferguson (undisclosed). As such, Fleury will attempt to power through -- he likely won't make an appearance unless Filip Gustavsson gets hurt.
