Fleury, 36, finished with a 26-10-0 record during the 2020-21 regular season and earned career-bests with a .928 save percentage and a 1.98 GAA, both of which finished third in the NHL. His 23-point improvement in save percentage from last season (.905 in 2019-20 to .928 in 2020-21) was the best in the NHL.
For the first time in his career, Fleury, as well as teammate Robin Lehner, was recognized as a winner of the William M. Jennings Trophy, the annual award given to the goalkeeper(s) having played a minimum of 25 games for the team with the fewest goals scored against.
The Sorel, Quebec native moved into third place all-time with his 490th career victory, defeating Minnesota 3-2 in overtime on May 5. He won his 484th career game after capturing his 66th career shutout with a 1-0 win over Arizona on April 11. He captured his 100th victory as a Golden Knight against Anaheim on February 27. Among goaltenders to be a franchise's first to 100 wins, Fleury required the second fewest games to reach the milestone, trailing only Tiny Thompson (158 GP with Boston).
Fleury was selected by the Vegas Golden Knights during the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft. Fleury was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins with the 1st overall pick in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.
