The Vegas Golden Knights turned back to Marc-Andre Fleury for Game 5 versus the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.

In addition, top-line center Chandler Stephenson was also back in Vegas' lineup after missing Games 2-4. He was sidelined with an upper-body injury but returned to his usual spot between Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone.

Fleury had started eight consecutive contests but was benched in favor of Robin Lehner for Game 4.

Lehner was fantastic in his only showing of the series, turning aside 27 of 28 shots as the Golden Knights evened the series.

Fleury is 9-6 this postseason with a .921 save percentage and 1.97 goals against average.
