Appearing in the second half of a postseason back-to-back with a chance to secure the Vegas Golden Knights a 3-1 stranglehold in their second-round series with the Vancouver Canucks, Marc-Andre Fleury delivered the kind of performance that we’ve long understood has been well within his capabilities.
Demonstrating his trait athleticism and resolute nature in the crease, Fleury made 28 saves on 31 shots to earn the comeback victory, with a large section of his best work coming before the Golden Knights stormed back with three goals in the third period to rescue a 5-3 victory.
There were several things Fleury displayed beyond the fact he’s still a talented netminder who can handle the load in big games.
