Despite a season-high goal total on Tuesday, goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury has sparked Vegas’ turnaround by winning his last five starts. Fleury, named the league’s Second Star of the Week after posting a pair of shutouts among three wins, has surrendered five goals over the past four games. “”My teammates have been helping a lot,” Fleury said. “The forwards are coming back and cutting those cross-ice passes. The defense lets me see the puck and they take the rebounds away. Just little things have been making a difference defensively.”

Vancouver halted an eight-game slide at Pacific Division cellar dweller Los Angeles on Saturday, but its offensive woes continued in a 2-1 overtime loss to the visiting Kings in Tuesday’s rematch. The one positive for the Canucks was the return of forward Brock Boeser, a 29-goal scorer as a rookie last season who had missed the previous 11 games due to a groin injury. Rookie center Elias Pettersson has scored in three of the last six contests to boost his team-high total to 13 but he has only one assist over the past 10 games.
