One of the most inconsistent parts of the Washington Capitals this season is the team’s goaltending.
That could change with the NHL trade deadline approaching, as the Capitals are reportedly interested in acquiring Chicago’s Marc-Andre Fleury — a three-time Stanley Cup champion and one of the league’s top goaltenders.
According to NHL insider and Sportsnet reporter Elliotte Friedman, the Capitals are “looking into” trading for the 37-year-old goalie.
“We should prepare ourselves for the possibility of Marc-Andre Fleury, Washington Capital. At the very least, the Capitals are looking into it,” Friedman wrote.
The Capitals entered the season with the youngest goaltending duo in the NHL.
