Marc-Andre Fleury: (Illness) Being Tested For Mumps

Fleury missed Wednesday's practice after feeling ill and will undergo precautionary tests for the mumps.

Analysis:

Along with Fleury, defensemen Olli Maatta and Roberto Bortuzzo will also be tested for the virus, which has become a valid concern around the locker room after Sidney Crosby and Beau Bennett fell victim to the illness. Given that the virus has typically sidelined players for about a week, Fleury's fantasy owners should be sure to monitor his status heading into Thursday's game against the Avalanche. Expect the Penguins to provide an update on his condition following Thursday's gameday skate.
