Marc-Andre Fleury isn’t done just yet after returning to Minnesota on a one-year deal

Marc-Andre Fleury is returning for one final season with the Minnesota Wild.

The 39-year-old goaltender officially signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract extension with the Wild on Wednesday and confirmed in a video message later that day that the 2024–25 season will be his last in the NHL.

The former No. 1 overall pick has appeared in 1,024 career games during his career with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Vegas Golden Knights, Chicago Blackhawks, and Wild, posting a 561-329-2-94 record and winning the Stanley Cup three times.

Through 39 games with the Wild this season, Fleury has posted a 17-14-5 record, two shutouts, and an .895 save percentage. The Wild will conclude their season when they take on the Seattle Kraken on Thursday.

Retired NHL goaltender Carter Hutton joined Frank Seravalli and Colby Cohen on Wednesday’s episode of Daily Faceoff Live to discuss Fleury returning to Minnesota for one more season.

Frank Seravalli: We’ve got some fascinating matchups to get to Carter, but first, wanted to ping you on the news that Marc-Andre Fleury is returning for yet another season. He turns 40 in November. You look at the numbers and you say, ‘Ehhh, save percentage this year, eh, it’s OK,’ but he really carried this Wild team for a big chunk of time with Filip Gustavsson out. You think Flower’s got plenty of game left in the tank?

Carter Hutton: I think so. You know, the way he plays, the way he competes, obviously it’s exciting, too. I think there’s other aspects of his game that he brings to the dressing room. Everybody loves him, there’s that side of him as well. So, at his age, and what he’s able to do — he’s a guy I was always jealous of that played a lot of minutes, and even the way he practices, he always takes good care of himself. It’s not surprising that he can continue playing and I’m obviously excited for him, and I think everyone in Minnesota is as well.
