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.

Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Poor performance in loss Wednesday
Rotowire
Fleury stopped 27 of 33 shots in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Panthers.
Fleury started for the third time across Minnesota's last six games, but he didn't look good, and the 40-year-old posted season-worst marks in goals allowed and save percentage while facing the second-most shots. Over his four appearances in December, the 40-year-old netminder has gone 1-2-0 with a 3.33 GAA and an .885 save percentage since he's stopped just 85 of the 96 shots he's faced.
Fleury will defend the cage at home against the Panthers on Wednesday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
While Fleury appeared in just seven of the Wild's first 28 games this season, he may have to take on a bigger role with Filip Gustavsson (lower body) sidelined. In his last five outings, the Flower is 3-1-0 with a 2.33 GAA and a .915 save percentage. In addition to starting Wednesday, Fleury should feature in one of the Wild's back-to-back games either Friday or Saturday against Utah or Winnipeg, respectively.

Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Dazzles in win
Rotowire
Fleury made 21 saves Saturday in a 4-1 win over Philadelphia.
The Flower made a 10-bell save in the first period to keep the game scoreless. After a turnover at the blue line, the Flyers grabbed the puck and broke in. Fleury stretched right to left across the crease and made a glove save at full stretch on Travis Konecny's quick shot. This season is loaded in emotion for Fleury, who announced in the offseason that this would be his last. The recently turned 40 backup is 6-1-1 with a 2.51 GAA and a .909 save percentage in eight starts this season, so he's still got it when he's in the blue paint.

Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Takes first regulation loss
Rotowire
Fleury gave up two goals on 32 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Kings. The last two goals were empty-netters.
Fleury did his part to give the Wild a fighting chance, but the Kings gave them no quarter. As a result, the veteran netminder earned his first regulation loss of the season, dropping him to 5-1-1 with a 2.56 GAA and a .910 save percentage over seven starts. He's had a light workload because Filip Gustavsson has been one of the best goalies in the league, leaving no room for Fleury to take on a larger role. The Wild play four times between Tuesday and Sunday, Dec. 15, including a weekend back-to-back, so Fleury probably won't have to wait long for his next start.
