The Pittsburgh Penguins (3-6-1) completed their first 10-game segment with a resounding thud. The team is winless in five games, including earning a mere point on their four-game Western Canada road trip that ended with a 4-3 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday. The Penguins face the Minnesota Wild (5-1-2) on Tuesday, as well as old friend Marc-Andre Fleury one more time.
The puck drops just after 7 p.m., but fans may very well delay proceedings when Fleury is introduced for what will likely be his final game in Pittsburgh.
The NHL’s second all-time winningest goalie was the Penguins first pick and first pick overall in 2003 and has three Penguins Stanley Cup rings.
The highlights and lowlights of the Penguins’ road trip finale were allowing four goals in under six minutes, including three in 65 seconds. However, we also got a glimpse of what’s to come with coach Mike Sullivan pairing Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby on the top line with Rickard Rakell.
Of note, winger Bryan Rust did not practice Monday after leaving the game early Saturday with a lower-body injury.
Tuesday night is most likely the final time Fleury will play in Pittsburgh. The goalie spent the first 13 years of his career with the Penguins organization, winning three championships and becoming a fan favorite. The soon-to-be 40-year-old announced this would be his final season.
Fleury played 691 games with the Penguins, earning a 375-216-68 record, a 2.58 goals-against average, a .912 save percentage, and 44 shutouts.
Joel Blomqvist was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate. Fleury will start for Minnesota.
