Marc-André Fleury, the veteran goaltender for the Minnesota Wild, has confirmed that the 2024-2025 season will be his last, making the announcement at his annual golf tournament.
Speaking to TVA Sports at the Beauchemin-Fleury-Beauvillier-Aubé-Kubel Classic, Fleury expressed his desire to enjoy his final year, have fun, and win games. He mentioned the possibility of finishing second in all-time games played in the NHL, though he emphasized that it's not his main focus.
The 2023-2024 season was eventful for Fleury, marked by several records and controversies, including issues surrounding his Indigenous-themed helmet. At 39 years old, Fleury finished the season with a 17-15-5 record in 40 games, a goals-against average of 2.98, and a save percentage of .895%.
