Penguins' Marc-Andre Fleury: Steals Game 1 at Verizon Center

Fleury made 33 saves in Thursday's 3-2 Game 1 win over Washington.

Analysis:

Fleury outplayed Vezina Trophy finalist Braden Holtby, who allowed one more goal despite facing 14 fewer shots. Fleury was just 4-7-5 with a 3.58 GAA in 18 road appearances during the regular season, but has stepped things up with wins in two of his first three playoff road starts. While it's still tough to trust him in what figures to be a high-scoring series against the Presidents' Trophy-winning Capitals, Fleury proved more than capable of holding his own here.
