Golden Knights turn to Fleury for series opener vs. Stars

The Vegas Golden Knights will start goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury for Game 1 against the Dallas Stars on Sunday, the team announced.

Fleury has started just three games so far this postseason, while teammate Robin Lehner has appeared in 12, including the club's Game 7 win over the Vancouver Canucks.

Since Sep. 1, Lehner has started three games and stopped 48 of the 53 shots he faced, including a shutout in Game 7 to help send Vegas to the Western Conference Final.

Fleury has won all three of the contests he's appeared in so far this postseason. He played once during the round-robin, once against the Chicago Blackhawks, and once against the Canucks. His last start was on Aug. 30.
