Penguins' Marc-Andre Fleury: Ready to face Capitals in Game 1

Fleury will guard the goal for Thursday night's Game 1 in Washington.

Analysis:

With Matt Murray (lower body) still ailing, Fleury will continue to be the undisputed starter for the Penguins' playoff run. The 32-year-old played admirably in the first-round series against Columbus, posting a .933 save percentage and 2.52 GAA en route to a 4-1 record. The Flower hasn't faired well at the Verizon Center this season, allowing nine goals total over the course of two regular-season starts, so he'll look to turn it around Thursday.
