FLEURY FOILS ISLES TO PASS ROY FOR SECOND PLACE ON NHL’S ALL-TIME WINS LIST
Marc-Andre Fleury turned aside all 21 shots he faced to record the 552nd win of his NHL career and pass Patrick Roy (551) for sole possession of second place on the League’s all-time list. Fleury was mobbed by his teammates after earning the victory at Xcel Energy Center, which was where he passed Roberto Luongo (489) for third place in NHL history on May 5, 2021 (w/ VGK).
* Fleury, who continued the tradition of thanking his posts Monday, recorded his 74th career shutout to move within two of tying Tony Esposito and Ed Belfour (both w/ 76) for 10th place on the League’s all-time list. Fleury earned his sixth shutout against the Islanders to match Jose Theodore for the second most versus the franchise in League history – that list, just like the NHL’s all-time wins leaderboard, is topped by Martin Brodeur.
STONE SCORES FIRST REGULAR-SEASON HAT TRICK OF NHL CAREER
Marc-Andre Fleury’s former teammate Mark Stone celebrated a feat of his own Monday as he scored the first regular-season hat trick of his NHL career and vaulted Vegas to victory versus Nashville. Stone has two hat tricks in the playoffs, including one during the Golden Knights’ Stanley Cup-clinching win in Game 5 of the 2023 Final.
* With every hat trick this season, AstraZeneca will donate $5,000 to the Hockey Fights Cancer Fund of the V Foundation up to $500,000. Click here for more information.
SWAYMAN, LUUKKONEN, JARRY ALSO RECORD SHUTOUTS MONDAY
Boston’s Jeremy Swayman (31 saves), Buffalo’s Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (28 saves) and Pittsburgh’s Tristan Jarry (22 saves) also blanked opponents Monday, with Swayman helping the Eastern Conference-leading Bruins (26-8-9, 61 points) extend their point streak to six games (3-0-3 since Jan. 6).
* Swayman, who is set to become the 12th goaltender to represent Boston in an All-Star Game, registered his 12th career shutout and tied Tiny Thompson for the third most by a Bruins netminder at age 25 or younger. Frank Brimsek (22) and Tuukka Rask (13) own the most and second most, respectively.

* Reinhart’s seven-game goal streak (9-2—11 in 7 GP) is the longest by any player in 2023-24 and matched Pavel Bure (7 GP in 2000-01) for the longest goal streak in Panthers history. Reinhart, who is set to make his All-Star debut in Toronto for 2024 NHL All-Star Weekend, has also netted a special-teams goal in all seven contests.
