Fleury saved only five of nine shots before being pulled from Wednesday's Game 3 loss to Ottawa.
After he allowed just two goals through his previous three starts, the pendulum swung in the opposite direction this time. There were some tough bounces, and he bounced back from consecutive poor outings in the conference semis to post a Game 7 shutout against Washington last week, so it's probably ill-advised to get too hung up about this start. However, with Matt Murray healthy, Fleury's leash will probably be short through the rest of the postseason.
