For Fleury, to play is the thing — but not the only one

Know this about Marc-Andre Fleury: He wants to play.

Next game.

Last game.

Every game since he got medical clearance.

And maybe a few before that.

But know this about Fleury, too: His priority is for the Penguins to win their Eastern Conference second-round playoff series against Washington, against which they have a 3-2 lead heading into Game 6 at 8:10 p.m. Tuesday at Consol Energy Center.

If they survive the Capitals series, the goal becomes an Eastern Conference championship.

Earn that, and the objective becomes a Stanley Cup.

And if the Penguins accomplish all of that with Matt Murray in goal, Fleury will relish his team’s achievement.
