Wild’s Fleury makes final regular-season appearance in overtime victory

Marc-Andre Fleury got one last opportunity to get on the ice for what could be the final appearance of his NHL career. With the Minnesota Wild locking up a playoff spot after forcing overtime against the Anaheim Ducks, the team decided to give Fleury a proper send-off as he was brought into the game to replace Filip Gustavsson. Matt Boldy would then score in the extra frame to help secure the victory for Minnesota, with Fleury making five saves to earn his 575th career win.

After 21 seasons in the NHL, the 40-year-old is set to retire and will go out with the second-most wins all-time among goaltenders. The Sorel, Que., native has won three Stanley Cups, a Vezina Trophy and a William Jennings Trophy, has appeared in four all-star games and has an Olympic gold medal with Canada.
