NHL goalie Marc-Andre Fleury has been making headlines as he navigates his final season in the league with the Minnesota Wild. At 40 years old, Fleury has been playing as a backup to Filip Gustavsson but still managed to secure his first regulation loss of the season in a recent game against the Los Angeles Kings. Despite the setback, Fleury has been a solid performer with a 5-1-1 record, a 2.56 GAA, and a .910 save percentage over seven starts.
In other news, Fleury recently faced his former team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, in what was likely his final regular-season start in Pittsburgh. Although Fleury remains a backup at this stage of his career, he has maintained a strong performance, going 2-0-1 with a 2.92 GAA and .899 save percentage in his first few appearances of the season. Fleury’s experience and skill have been evident, with the Wild relying on him in key matchups.
Looking ahead, Fleury is expected to continue sharing the crease with Gustavsson, providing valuable depth in the goaltending position for the Wild. As Fleury approaches the end of his NHL career, fans can expect to see him make strategic and impactful contributions to the team as they compete in the Western Central Standings. With a storied career behind him and a successful season underway, Fleury’s legacy as a respected and talented goalie in the league is sure to endure.
