Marc-Andre Fleury's Heartfelt Goodbye in Pittsburgh

Minnesota Wild goalie Marc-Andre Fleury enjoyed a good night Tuesday with a 5-3 win over his former team the Pittsburgh Penguins.

This game was his last in Pittsburgh, where he began his NHL career and spent 13 seasons. He is set to retire at the end of the NHL season.

Penguins fans and Fleury's former teammates made sure to give him a special send-off, showing their appreciation for everything he did for the team.

Marc-Andre Fleury: an icon.

Said the Penguins

Fleury celebrated with his current teammates as well as former Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang.

Once the crowd cleared, Fleury took a slow lap around the rink, waving to fans who had cheered for him throughout his years with the Penguins.

After more than two decades in the big leagues - the first 13 years of them spent in black and gold - Fleury announced in the summer that the 2024-25 campaign would be his last. He's suited up against the Penguins nine times since leaving town, logging four years in Vegas and a season in Chicago before beginning what's become a four-year stint with Minnesota.
