Marc-Andre Fleury stole the show, and every shot he faced Wednesday night to help the Vegas Golden Knights to a 1-0 win in the team's first Stanley Cup Playoffs appearance.
Fleury made 30 saves in Game 1 of their first-round Western Conference matchup against the Los Angeles Kings.
Golden Knights teammate Shea Theodore tallied the game's lone marker at 3:23 of the opening frame.
Fleury pulled out all the stops for his 11th NHL career postseason shutout, 11th most in NHL history – now one ahead of Ken Dryden and Henrik Lundqvist. It was also the netminder's 63rd playoff win, which tied him for 12th overall in the category.
Puck drops on Game 2 Friday, April 13.
