LAS VEGAS — Minnesota goalie

Fleury was playing in his 18th playoffs, breaking his tie with Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur to become the goalie with the most playoff seasons.

Gustavsson saved 23 of 25 shots through the first two periods as the Golden Knights took a 2-1 lead before the Wild forced overtime in the third.

Wild coach John Hynes said Gustavsson’s illness “came up during the game.”

But Fleury knew there was a chance he needed to be ready.

“I knew Gus wasn’t feeling great before the game, but he battled through those first periods,” Fleury said. “I talked when he came off and he said that was it.”
