Fleury scored two goals while adding six shots, two blocked shots, two PIM and three hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Wild.
Fleury was the only man who could solve Wild netminder Cam Talbot, tying the game in the first period and potting the eventual game-winner in the second before the Kraken piled on two empty-netters in the third. Despite skating by far the fewest minutes among Seattle's six blueliners (14:11), Fleury still found time to round out his stat line, delivering an excellent performance across the board. These are the types of performances the Hurricanes envisioned when they selected Fleury seventh overall in the 2014 draft, but the 25-year-old defenseman has perennially underperformed since then, and it's not an exaggeration to say this was the best game of his NHL career -- he came in having scored just seven goals in 183 previous appearances split between the Hurricanes, Ducks and Kraken.
