Marc-Andre Fleury turned away all 26 shots the Washington Capitals threw his way to record his first shutout as a member of the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night.

The Golden Knights got by the reigning Presidents' Trophy winners 3-0, and for Fleury it marked his third win in four games since returning from a concussion.

The 33-year-old has been everything the Golden Knights could ask for this season and more as he's improved to 6-1-1 on the year with a .938 save percentage.

The shutout was the 45th of his career and the fourth time he's blanked the Capitals, tied for the second-most against any team in his career.
