Fleury will start tonight vs. the Islanders.

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 will get the start — his first in four games — and his relief of Tomas Vokoun against Buffalo was “solid,” coach Dan Bylsma said.

Fleury stopped all 16 shots that he faced in relief of Vokoun last night. He was as good as you can be in March going 8-0-0 with a 1.97 GAA, .928 SV% and one shutout. He will look to pick up in April where he left off in March and it starts tonight vs. the Rangers. He is 1-0-0 vs. New York this season.
