Marc-Andre Fleury to Make Emotional Final Return to Pittsburgh with Minnesota Wild

The legendary goaltender, set to retire after this season, will face the Penguins for a farewell game at PPG Paints Arena.

  • Marc-Andre Fleury, a three-time Stanley Cup champion with the Penguins, will likely play his last game in Pittsburgh as he plans to retire after this season.
  • Fleury, now with the Minnesota Wild, has been a backup this season but is expected to start in this significant game against his former team.
  • The Penguins are struggling with a five-game losing streak, and Fleury's return may provide extra motivation for his former teammates like Sidney Crosby.
  • Minnesota's Kirill Kaprizov is in excellent form, having a five-game multi-point streak, just one shy of the franchise record.
  • Fleury's illustrious career includes over 1,000 games played and numerous records, making him a future Hall of Fame candidate.
