Fleury stopped all 34 shots that he faced in the Golden Knights shutout win over the Flames on Sunday. The shutout snapped a brief two-game losing skid for Fleury, who will make his 17th start of the season on Tuesday. He is 5-4-1 with a 3.13 GAA and .900 SV% on home-ice this season and faces a struggling Maple Leafs team on Tuesday. Toronto is on a five-game losing streak and they've been outscored 23-to-13 in the process.

Gaunce has spent the entire season with Providence, where he has recorded four goals and three assists (seven points) in 11 games. He spent the first five years of his career with the Canucks, where he had 15 points (6G / 9A) in 117 career NHL games.

Fleury gave up five goals on 26 shots in the Golden Knights loss to the Blackhawks on Wednesday. Vegas is in a bit of a tail-spin and Fleury comes into play having lost three of his last four starts while allowing 15 goals on 118 shots (.873 SV%). The Flames are also struggling, losing three in a row and only scoring three goals in those games.


Washington played with 11 forwards on Friday but Boyd comes up to dress as the 12th forward on Saturday. He has split his time between the NHL and AHL, totalling four assists in six games with the Capitals and six points (4G / 2A) in four games with the Bears. Tyler Lewington went down to Hershey to make room for Boyd.

Fleury allowed four goals on 33 shots in the Golden Knights loss in Washington on Saturday. The veteran netminder has lost three of his last five starts while posting an ugly 3.54 GAA and .880 SV% but draws a nice matchup on Wednesday. Chicago is 1-4-2 while scoring only 1.86 goals per game on the road this season.

Fleury stopped 29 of 30 shots in the Golden Knights win in Columbus on Tuesday. Malcolm Subban started in Toronto on Thursday, so they'll come back to Fleury in Game 1 of their weekend back-to-back. Fleury, who has yet to lose on the road this season, going 5-0-0 with a 1.22 GAA, .961 SV% and one shutout, draws a tough matchup vs. a Capitals team on a five -game winning streak while averaging 5.00 goals per game.

Foligno was forced to leave Thursday's game in San Jose with a lower-body injury and missed Friday's practice. Head coach Bruce Boudreau listed Foligno as questionable for Saturday's game in Arizona, so look for Victor Rask to replace him in Minnesota's bottom-6.


Fleury allowed five goals on 29 shots in the Golden Knights loss to the Canadiens last Thursday. Fleury then missed Saturday's game vs. the Jets with the flu but will start tonight in Columbus. He has yet to lose on the road this season, going 4-0-0 with a 1.27 GAA, .960 SV% and one shutout in four starts, so make sure he's active on Tuesday.


Fleury will be scratched on Saturday with Garret Sparks coming up to backup Malcolm Subban vs. the Jets. Monitor Fleury's status as the Golden Knights head into Tuesday's game in Columbus.

Fleury allowed two goals on 15 shots in the Golden Knights win over the Ducks on Sunday. It was a reflectively slow night for Fleury, who won for the fourth time in five starts. Surprisingly he has been a lot better on the road than on home ice so far, going 4-3-0 with a. 3.03 GAA and .905 SV% in Vegas. However, he's a great option tonight with the Canadiens coming in on the tail-end of a back-to-back.
