The greatest goaltender in Pittsburgh Penguins history has no plans of leaving the Minnesota Wild.

PITTSBURGH – Marc-Andre Fleury is one of the greatest goaltenders of all time, let alone the best to ever suit up for the Pittsburgh Penguins. At 39 and a lock for the Hall of Fame, he’s earned the right to determine where he plays and if he wants to hunt for another Stanley Cup.

Currently a member of the Minnesota Wild, Fleury’s status for the remainder of the 2023-24 season has been uncertain. The Wild hold a 28-24-6 record with an outside shot of making the playoffs. Things seemed unlikely, forcing many to think Fleury might be finding a new home to finish the season.

Wild general manager Bill Guerin made it clear that where Fleury plays is entirely up to him. More recently, Fleury told the Athletic that he has no plans of leaving Minnesota and wants to help carry the Wild into the postseason.

“If we were last in the conference, maybe it’d be a little bit different,” Fleury said to the Athletic. “But this is my team. We’ve been battling together, right? I take pride in winning with this team. I want us to make the playoffs. That’s my first priority.”

The 2023-24 season could be the last of Fleury’s illustrious career. He doesn’t have many achievements to look for other than a fourth Stanley Cup.

Fleury locked up second all-time in wins by a goalie earlier this year and surpassed the 1,000 games played mark. He captured a well-deserved Vezina Trophy in 2021.

Fleury has appeared in 17 consecutive postseasons. He plans on making it 18 but wants to do so with the Wild as they fight for positioning in the Western Conference.

A reunion with the Penguins may still be possible, but not until this summer.
