Golden Knights turn to Fleury for Game 3, Stastny unfit to play

Vegas Golden Knights netminder Marc-Andre Fleury is in the crease for Saturday's Game 3 against the Chicago Blackhawks, the team announced.

Robin Lehner won the opening two games of the series while posting a .911 save percentage, but the Golden Knights have a quick turnaround with Game 4 scheduled less than 24 hours after Game 3 at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday.

The Golden Knights will be without Paul Stastny for Game 3 after he was deemed unfit to play. However, Max Pacioretty will make his return to the lineup following his absence from Game 2.

Without Stastny, William Karlsson will slide down to the second line and rejoin Jonathan Marchessault and Reilly Smith. Meanwhile, Chandler Stephenson is centering the top line with Pacioretty and Mark Stone.
