When the series is on the line, you can count on Marc-Andre Fleury to have a big game.
With his 28-save shutout in Game 6 of the Vegas Golden Knights' second-round series against the San Jose Sharks, Fleury earned his fourth career shutout in series-clinching games, the second-most among any goaltender in NHL history, and just one shy of the all-time leader, Chris Osgood.

The 33-year-old now boasts a league-best .951 save percentage and a 1.53 goals-against average.
