For the past two weeks, Lucky Jones has taken home Yinzer gold, but this week he was outsed by someone who Penguins fans have a love-hate relationship with: Marc-Andre Fleury.
Fleury played in two games for the Pens this past week and they won both times with him in goal. Against Buffalo last Sunday, he saved 30 of 33 shots, giving him a save percentage of .909. Even though he allowed three goals, the Pens were able to score just one more than the Sabres and pick up the 4-3 win.
The Pens decided to go with Tomas Voulkon, a former Yinzer of the Week winner, on Wednesday in a 6-5 loss to the Flyers.
When Fleury came back onto the ice Friday night against Florida, he played a solid game. He allowed only one goal on 23 shots on goal, giving him a save percentage of .957. The Pens won 3-1 behind Fleury in goal.
For the week, the Canadian goal-keeper finished with 55 saves, only allowing 4 goals and racked up a save percentage of .933. He’s now 7-1 for the month of February.
Tune in next Saturday to see who the next Yinzer of the Week will be.
