Fleury will get a road start in net Friday night, taking on the Lightning.

Analysis:

The Penguins are in a groove, having claimed wins in each of the past five starts made by Fleury. Over that timeframe, the veteran backstop has a pair of shutouts and 12 goals allowed in all. Tampa Bay ranks 15th in the league with 2.62 goals per match but its 28.9 shots averaged each game is only good for 22nd, so Fleury might have an edge in this matchup especially when you consider that the Penguins lead the league averaging 32.6 shots per contest.
