Goaltendin­g, exhibition plans

Deboer said Monday he wants goaltender­s Marc-andre Fleury and Robin Lehner to play two games apiece before the Knights’ first playoff series. One will get an exhibition and round-robin game, and the other will get two round-robin games.

Then, Deboer said he will decide who gets the nod for the first playoff game.

“Whoever we start with, that could change very quickly depending on how the playoffs go, injuries, matchups and things like that,” Deboer said. “The great thing is we’ve got two guys that everybody — players, coaches — is very comfortabl­e with. Whoever is standing in that net is capable of helping us win. It’s a good problem to have.”

Deboer also said he is planning to dress 18 skaters for Thursday’s exhibition against the Arizona Coyotes. Teams are allowed to dress an extra two for their exhibition games, but Deboer said he wanted to treat it like “an important game” to get the Knights ready for the round robin.

Fleury nominated for award

Fleury was named the Golden Knights’ nominee for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy, the NHL’S humanitari­an award.

This is Fleury’s first King Clancy nomination with the Knights. Defenseman Deryk Engelland was the team’s nominee the previous two seasons.

The winner will be selected by a committee of senior NHL executives led by commission­er Gary Bettman and deputy commission­er Bill Daly.

The winner will receive a $25,000 donation from the league’s foundation to benefit a charity or charities of his choice. The two runners-up each receive a $5,000 donation.
