Fleury to Miss Game
Marc-Andre Fleury
The Pittsburgh Penguins announced that goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will miss tomorrow's game against the Colorado Avalanche. Fleury, along with defensemen Olli Maatta and Robert Bortuzzo, were all ill and have been tested for mumps. The 30-year-old goaltender has a record of (17-4-2) with five shutouts in 23 games this season. Thomas Greiss will get the start and could be the starting goaltender for an extended period of time should Fleury be diagnosed with mumps. Greiss, 28, has a record of (3-2-2) in seven games this season. The Penguins also called up goaltender Jeff Zatkoff from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League. Zatkoff, 27, made his NHL debut with the Penguins in the 2013-14 season. He compiled a record of (12-6-2) with one shutout in 20 games.
