More than two decades have come and gone since Fleury broke into the NHL with the Penguins. He was an 18-year-old prodigy who captivated Pittsburgh from the beginning and, all of these years later, he still has a hold on so many hockey fans in Western Pennsylvania. They’ll be watching Sunday, just like they always do when Fleury is involved.

The 40-year-old Fleury, who will be retiring at the end of the 2024-25 season, moved past Hockey Hall of Famer netminder Roberto Luongo on the all-time starts list. The former Florida Panthers and Vancouver Canucks goalie had a total of 1,014 career starts, while New Jersey Devils legend Martin Brodeur holds the record with 1,251.

Fleury had a strong outing against his former team where the Wild failed to provide him with much goal support. He posted a clean first period before the Penguins put two goals past Fleury in the final two periods.
