Marc-Andre Fleury's final appearance in Pittsburgh was all you could have hoped for.

Well... at least if you're a fan of the Minnesota Wild.

Fleury and the Wild earned a victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins this evening and he was named the game's first star for not only his role in tonight's win, but for his role in so many Penguins' wins over the years.

Following the game Fleury celebrated the evening not only with his teammates, but with his former teammates Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang. He then took a lap and waved to all of the fans in attendance.


And his post-game interview:


As classy as it gets.

Read below for our pre-game report on Fleury's final game in Pittsburgh.


Don't look now but Pittsburgh Penguins legend Marc-Andre Fleury is back in town.

Fleury and the Minnesota Wild are scheduled to take on the Penguins in Pittsburgh this evening and it's always a special occasion when Flower is back in PA. Yesterday, after finishing his full 60 minute practice with the Wild, Fleury hopped back onto the ice to take some reps with the teens from the Penguins' local youth camp.

How cool is that!?

What's even better is that off-camera Fleury reportedly approached the team's goalie and apologized to them for stealing the spotlight. The best part? That young goaltender wears #29 in honor of his hero... Marc-Andre Fleury.

Fleury's family will all be in attendance for what's expected to be his final game in Pittsburgh this evening.


The Penguins have started the pre-game celebrations nice and early, releasing a tribute video for Fleury on social media this morning that is essentially just a collection of all Fleury's pranks over the years.

Once again... we're really gonna miss this guy when he finally retires.
