Marc-Andre Fleury was the first goalie off the ice during Wednesday's morning skate

Fleury was the first goalie off the ice during Wednesday's morning skate, making him the expected netminder for the evening's contest against the Rangers, Seth Rorabaugh of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Analysis:

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise if Fleury ends up in goal as expected, looking for back-to-back good starts following a couple stumbles. The team should officially confirm the goalie at some point later in the day, but Fleury appears the favorite in the clubhouse. The starting netminder would need to prepare for a Rangers club averaging 2.50 goals per game through four February contests, assuming he receives the call.
