Cale Fleury News: Gathers assist in loss

Fleury logged an assist, added six hits and blocked three shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Senators.

Fleury ended a nine-game point drought with the helper. The 27-year-old was in the lineup for the third time in four games -- Ryan Lindgren (illness) was unavailable as a bug works its way through the locker room. Fleury has three points, 22 shots on net, 40 hits, 26 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 19 appearances this season. He appears to be the preferred next man up when a Kraken defenseman is unavailable, leaving Josh Mahura buried on the depth chart as an eighth blueliner.
