Vegas Golden Knights netminder Marc-Andre Fleury got the start in goal for Saturday's Game 3 against the Chicago Blackhawks.
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 were without Paul Stastny for Game 3 after he was deemed unfit to play. However, Max Pacioretty made his return to the lineup following his absence from Game 2.
Without Stastny, William Karlsson slid down to the second line and rejoined Jonathan Marchessault and Reilly Smith. Meanwhile, Chandler Stephenson centered the top line with Pacioretty and Mark Stone.
