3. Marc-Andre Fleury

With Robin Lehner providing stiff competition behind him, Marc-Andre Fleury has really elevated his game as of late and he was brilliant against the Edmonton Oilers on Monday.

He stopped 22 of the 24 shots he faced and helped to keep the Oilers at bay, who were still dangerous at times despite being without Connor McDavid who missed the game due to illness.

Fleury bailed his team out when he had to and he made a sublime stop to absolutely rob Ethan Bear in overtime, showing superb reactions to deny the defenseman at point blank range.

After struggling for chunks of this year, Fleury is starting to reach the peak of his powers once again and his save in overtime is what you get with an elite goaltender.

Fleury is absolutely money in clutch moments and the 35-year-old was at it again in what was a huge showdown with the Oilers.

Granted, Fleury didn’t have a great deal to do throughout the course of the game but, when his team needed him the most in the biggest moment of the contest, he delivered and that is the true hallmark of a true great.
