2. Marc-Andre Fleury

This is an obvious one, isn’t it.

To say that Marc-Andre Fleury has been playing at an elite level this year would be a severe understatement, and you wonder where the Golden Knights would be if it were not for their future Hall of Famer.

Fleury has been simply incredible and he’s already pulled off a plethora of superb stops, enough to fill a handful of highlight-reels.

I mean, who could forget THAT incredible save against the Toronto Maple Leafs where he absolutely robbed Nic Petan?!

Save of the year without a doubt.

There are other high-end stops we can point to as well but the point is that, even at 34-years-old, Fleury is still one of the best goalies in the National Hockey League and he’s showing no signs of slowing down.

Through 19 starts Fleury has a record of 11-6-2 with a 2.54 Goals Against Average and a .919 Save Percentage.

Not bad at all.

Marc-Andre Fleury will go down as one of the best to have ever put on the pads in the NHL and we should all be thankful that he’s a member of the Vegas Golden Knights.

I know I am.
