However, last night, he was put in a difficult situation when his head coach, Dean Evason, called him to play less than 48 hours after his young teammate, Filip Gustavsson, was the hero of the first game. This situation was challenging for Fleury as he was on the road.
Gustavsson delivered a remarkable performance, making 51 saves on 53 shots. This created considerable pressure for Fleury, who had to live up to the high expectations set by his teammate's exceptional performance.
Unfortunately, Fleury couldn't maintain the momentum and conceded seven goals on 31 shots, resulting in a 7-3 loss for his team. During the post-game press conference, it was evident that Fleury was deeply affected by this defeat, showing signs of shame and great disappointment. It was really unpleasant to see.
