Marc-Andre Fleury pulls off early save of the year candidate
Marc-Andre Fleury is off to a tough start this season. The 38-year-old has won 3 Stanley Cups and one Vezina trophy in his 19-year career, but his numbers this season are proof that Father Time is undefeated. Fleury owns a 2-1-1 record, which isn't bad considering his putrid 4.30 GAA and .869sv%. Many are beginning to think the end may be nearing for Flower.
During Thursday night's game against the Senators, Fleury served notice to the NHL. He's not done. A slick pass from Derek Brassard set up Alex DeBrincat for looked like a sure goal. Fleury was down, but not out. The Wild netminder made a sensational glove save to preserve what was a 1-goal lead at the time.
Goaltending is a game of confidence. The best way to gain confidence? Come up with a spectacular save when all hope seems lost. After a rough start, this could be a turning point for Fleury. At the very least, it's a fine addition to his already massive career highlight reel.
