10. Marc-Andre Fleury, Goaltender, Pittsburgh Penguins

Due to both personal and team struggles in the playoffs, Fleury’s reputation among fans and media alike has taken quite a hit. Many don’t even consider him a top-10 goaltender in the NHL anymore.

The reality is, from a fantasy perspective in the regular season he’s one of the most productive players in the NHL.

Without anybody on the team or in Pittsburgh’s system threatening his number one status, you can pretty much count on him getting 60-65 starts a season. He’s also very durable, failing to play at a 65-70 game pace just once in eight years.

With the team the Penguins put in front of him, that likely means between 35-40 wins, a feat he’s accomplished in six out of his last eight seasons (he won 23 of 33 in the lockout shortened 2012-13 season).

He won’t provide elite numbers in save percentage, but falling between .913 and .918 in the last four seasons is good enough not to hurt your team. His goals-against average has been 2.39 or lower in each of those four seasons and he’s posted three or more shutouts three times during that span as well.

He may not be good enough to win the Penguins a Stanley Cup, but he can certainly backstop a team to fantasy hockey glory. After the elite goaltenders are off the board, don’t hesitate to make Fleury your number one fantasy hockey goaltender.
