Perhaps it was only fitting then that head coach Gerard Gallant confirmed that Marc-Andre "Fleury" would get the start in goal against the Predators this evening. Fleury stopped all 29 shots in earning a shutout against the Predators at T-Mobile Arena on January 2, after Malcolm Subban picked up the win here at Bridgestone Arena in December.
Although Gallant confirmed Fleury would start on Tuesday, he suggested that in all probability, both of the Golden Knights goalies will play on this road trip that includes stops in Tampa Bay, Florida and Carolina before Vegas returns home to meet Columbus a week from tonight.
"That's the thing about our team," Gallant said. "We have 23 guys on our roster and every one of those guys is valuable for us. You want to play all of those guys. When you have two goalies that you can rely on, I'm very confident in the two."
