WASHINGTON — Here came the chants, booming and shrill and singsong: “Fleu-ry! Fleu-ry!” They reverberated through the partisan crowd at Capital One Arena after the Washington Capitals’ first goal Saturday night, then after their second and third. But Fleury did cede those three, and with Game 4 scheduled for Monday night here, Washington is now two victories from a championship. Such an achievement would have seemed unfathomable last year, when Fleury, then with Pittsburgh, shut out the Capitals in a Game 7 here. Always Pittsburgh, usually Fleury.
