Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 28 of 31 shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Oilers.Fleury has rattled off four straight wins after losing his season debut versus the Kraken. The Oilers were a bit disorganized throughout this game, which saw the Minnesota Wild's middle-six dominate. Fleury is 4-0-1 with a 2.76 GAA and a .904 save percentage over five starts. He played his 1,030th career regular-season game, moving past Patrick Roy for third-place all time among goaltenders. Fleury needs to make 15 more appearances to surpassed Roberto Luongo (1,044) for second place, which would put him behind only Martin Brodeur (1,266).
