Fleury to Face Kings on Wednesday night
Marc-Andre Fleury will guard the road net Wednesday against the Kings, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic. Fleury will get the second half of Minnesota’s back-to-back after Filip Gustavsson plays Tuesday against Anaheim. The 39-year-old Fleury has allowed two goals or fewer in six of his past seven outings, posting a 5-1-1 record with a .937 save percentage during that span. He has a 16-11-4 record this season with a 2.67 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 34 appearances. The Kings sit 19th in the league this campaign with 3.01 goals per contest.
Kempe Hands out trio of Assists
Adrian Kempe notched three assists, three shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday’s 6-2 win over the Blackhawks. Kempe assisted on three straight goals in the second period, one from Vladislav Gavrikov and two more from Anze Kopitar. This was Kempe’s second multi-point effort over six contests since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 27-year-old has 21 goals, 37 helpers, 206 shots on net, 96 hits, 54 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 63 appearances.
