Alex Ovechkin scores on Marc-Andre Fleury for a 28th time to move 24 away from the NHL goals record

Alex Ovechkin moved another step closer to breaking Wayne Gretzky's NHL career goals record by scoring on Marc-Andre Fleury again

Starting Thursday Fleury will patrol the blue paint in Washington on Thursday, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.

Impact Fleury has lost his last two starts, allowing eight goals on only 51 shots. The 40-year-old veteran is playing in his last season as he announced before the start of the year that he would retire at the end of the 2024-25 campaign. Fleury is 6-3-1 with a 2.81 GAA and an .898 save percentage in 11 appearances this season. The Capitals are atop the Eastern Conference standings with 52 points in 37 games.

Takes narrow loss Fleury stopped 16 of 18 shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to Utah.

Impact Fleury has lost three of his last five appearances, though he's given up two or fewer goals in four of those games. The 40-year-old netminder was beaten twice by Dylan Guenther, and that was the difference in Friday's narrow loss. Fleury is down to 6-3-1 with a 2.81 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 11 outings (10 starts) this season. Jesper Wallstedt will tend the twine on the road versus the Jets on Saturday, but Fleury could be back between the pipes at home against the Blackhawks on Monday.

Tending twine versus Utah Fleury will defend the home cage against Utah on Friday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Impact Fleury will log his fifth appearance in the Wild's last seven outings as Filip Gustavsson (lower body) remains on the shelf. During that stretch, the Flower is 1-2-0 with a 3.33 GAA and a .885 save percentage. With the Wild entering a back-to-back, it seems likely that Jesper Wallstedt will get the nod on the road against Winnipeg on Saturday -- though Gustavsson hasn't been officially ruled out yet.

Poor performance in loss Wednesday Fleury stopped 27 of 33 shots in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Fleury started for the third time across Minnesota's last six games, but he didn't look good, and the 40-year-old posted season-worst marks in goals allowed and save percentage while allowing the second-most shots. Over his four appearances in December, the 40-year-old netminder has gone 1-2-0 with a 3.33 GAA and an .885 save percentage since he's stopped just 85 of the 96 shots he's faced.

Tendiing twine Wednesday Fleury will defend the cage at home against the Panthers on Wednesday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Impact While Fleury appeared in just seven of the Wild's first 28 games this season, he may have to take on a bigger role with Filip Gustavsson (lower body) sidelined. In his last five outings, the Flower is 3-1-0 with a 2.33 GAA and .915 save percentage. In addition to starting Wednesday, Fleury should feature in one of the Wild's back-to-back games either Friday or Saturday against Utah or Winnipeg, respectively.

Dazzles in win Fleury made 21 saves Saturday in a 4-1 win over Philadelphia.

Impact The Flower made a 10-bell save in the first period to keep the game scoreless. After a turnover at the blue line, the Flyers grabbed the puck and broke in. Fleury stretched right to left across the crease and made a glove save at full stretch on Travis Konecny's quick shot. This season is loaded in emotion for Fleury, who announced in the offseason that this would be his last. The recently-turned 40 back-up is 6-1-1 with a 2.51 GAA and .909 save percentage in eight starts this season, so he's still got it when he's in the blue paint.

Facing Flyers Fleury will be between the home pipes versus Philadelphia on Saturday, according to Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

Impact Fleury had a rare relief appearance Thursday, giving up two goals on nine shots in a 7-1 loss in Edmonton. Fleury is 5-1-1 with a 2.71 GAA and a .905 save percentage this season. The Flyers are averaging 2.97 goals per game in 2024-25.

Gives up two goals in relief Fleury stopped seven of nine shots in Thursday's 7-1 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Fleury stepped into the face to replace Filip Gustavsson, who gave up five goals on 26 shots before departing the contest. At 40 years of age, Fleury probably can't handle the workload of being a regular starter, but he's been very effective as a backup. Even when factoring in this outing in which the Wild looked overmatched, the veteran netminder has gone 5-1-1 with a 2.71 GAA and a .905 save percentage across eight appearances in 2024-25.

Takes first regulation loss Fleury gave up two goals on 32 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Kings. The last two goals were empty-netters.

Impact Fleury did his part to give the Wild a fighting chance, but the Kings gave them no quarter. This was Fleury's first regulation loss of the season, dropping him to 5-1-1 with a 2.56 GAA and a .910 save percentage over seven starts. He's had a light workload because Filip Gustavsson has been one of the best goalies in the league, leaving no room for Fleury to take on a larger role. The Wild play four times between Tuesday and Sunday, Dec. 15, including a weekend back-to-back, so Fleury probably won't have to wait long for his next start.

Slated starter for Saturday Fleury is expected to start on the road against LA on Saturday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Friday.

Impact Filip Gustavsson is set to start Friday versus Anaheim, so Fleury is being positioned for the second half of that back-to-back. The 40-year-old Fleury has a 5-0-1 record, 2.64 GAA and .905 save percentage in six appearances in 2024-25. He stopped 21 of 23 shots en route to a 3-2 victory over Chicago in his last start Nov. 29. The Kings rank 16th in goals per game with 3.04.

Nabs fifth win Fleury stopped 20 shots in Friday's 3-2 win over Chicago.

Impact The visitors grabbed a 2-0 lead early in the second period on a pair of Ryan Donato tallies, but Fleury shut the door the rest of the way as the Wild offense got rolling. The 40-year-old goalie has been used sparingly this season as the backup to Filip Gustavsson, but the usage seems to be agreeing with Fleury as he has yet to take a regulation loss this season, going 5-0-1 in six starts with a .904 save percentage.

Starting Friday Fleury will be tending the home twine versus Chicago on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Fleury is 4-0-1 with a 2.76 GAA and a .904 save percentage this season as the backup to Filip Gustavsson. He will face the bottom-dwelling Blackhawks, who have only 18 points in 22 games this season.

Defeats Oilers Fleury stopped 28 of 31 shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Oilers.

Impact Fleury has rattled off four straight wins after losing his season debut versus the Kraken. The Oilers were a bit disorganized throughout this game, which saw the Wild's middle-six dominate. Fleury is 4-0-1 with a 2.76 GAA and a .904 save percentage over five starts. He played his 1,030th career regular-season game, moving past Patrick Roy for third-place all time among goaltenders. Fleury needs to make 15 more appearances to surpassed Roberto Luongo (1,044) for second place, which would put him behind only Martin Brodeur (1,266). Filip Gustavsson will likely get the start Saturday in Calgary in a matinee game.
