Fleury Gets 60th Career Shutout, Vegas Blanks Islanders 1-0

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Nate Schmidt said he missed the gold goalie pads Marc-Andre Fleury was set to sign and let the team auction off for charity. For the past couple of weeks, he had been pushing the veteran goaltender to dust them off.

“Schmidty talked to me about it, so I found them in the closet; there’s (been) a lot of goals scored lately, so I said might as well bring them out and see what they can do,” Fleury said.

All they did was help Fleury get his 60th career shutout as Reilly Smith scored late in the second period, and the Golden Knights beat the New York Islanders 1-0 on Saturday night.
