The big question is whether Fleury can get to 551 before he retires. That's where Patrick Roy sits in second place all-time. Martin Brodeur is first at 691 and that mark seems safe.
Fleury is certainly going to the Hall of Fame. Three Stanley Cup wins and third or better on the all-time win list makes him a lock. Coming to Vegas has been as good for Flower's career numbers as he has been for the franchise.
The 36-year-old woke up today with the league lead in goals-against at 1.77 and save percentage at .936. If the voting for the Vezina were held today he would certainly be a finalist and from this perspective, it would an injustice if he didn't win.
Marchie madness: Winger Jonathan Marchessault is playing some of the best hockey of his career. His 2017-18 season was arguably his finest as he scored 27 goals and 75 points in 77 games. This shortened season has seen him put up eight goals and 19 points in 26 games so his production is a little short of his career best.
This season, however, Marchessault has been pickier in his shot selection and more judicious with the puck. His turnover ratio is way down. In 17-18 his giveaways/60 was 2.14 while this season it's 1.11.
The production in his first season in Vegas was his best so far but one can argue the game we're seeing from Marchessault right now is more complete.
Third line props: VGK head coach Pete DeBoer put a line together vs. St. Louis and it has stuck. Tomas Nosek has elevated to the third line centering Nic Roy and Alex Tuch. The trio has been dominant for stretches winning the shots, chances and high danger chances battles by a large margin.
Tuch away from puck: There's no question Alex Tuch is having one of his most productive seasons with 13 goals and assists. One of the major areas of improvement for Tuch this season has been his play without the puck. Last season his goals-against/60 rating was 2.74. This season it's 1.82 as he's trimmed off almost a goal against per 60.
