Penguins' Marc-Andre Fleury: Pelted with pucks in Thursday loss

Fleury allowed three goals on 43 shots in a 4-2 loss to Minnesota on Thursday.

Analysis:

Thursday's shot total represents the highest number of shots Fleury has seen since April 7, 2015, a span of 72 games. He entered the game undefeated at home in 2016-17 (5-0-1) but suffered his first regulation loss at PPG Paints Arena. Fleury holds an 18-9-3 all-time record against Saturday's opponent, Toronto, but a 2.92 GAA against the Leafs is his fifth-worst overall. Neither Fleury nor Matt Murray has played particularly well this week, but if history is any indication, Murray will probably get the nod Saturday.
