BC-HKN–Penguins-Fleury’s Goodbye

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Marc-Andre Fleury is ready for one last skate around the place he helped build. The veteran goalie will make the final start of his career at PPG Paints Arena when the Minnesota Wild face the reeling Pittsburgh Penguins. Fleury spent the first 13 seasons of his career with the Penguins, helping the franchise win the Stanley Cup in 2009, 2016 and 2017 before departing for Vegas in the expansion draft. Fleury says he expects to be emotional before the puck drop and hopes to put on one last show in a place that remains close to his heart.
