PITTSBURGH — Returning to Pittsburgh for one final farewell just felt right for Marc-Andre Fleury.
Fleury stopped all eight shots he faced during the third period of his final game with the Pittsburgh Penguins, a 4-1 preseason win against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night.
“It was a little surreal, a little crazy, but also comfortable,” Fleury said. “When I played here with other teams, I always felt a little weird, but this felt normal … like it used to.”
Fleury officially retired from the NHL as a member of the Minnesota Wild at the end of last season. But the beloved 40-year-old goaltender signed a ceremonial professional tryout contract earlier this month to see old teammates and friends, come full circle and complete a 21-season NHL career that began in Pittsburgh.
“I feel bad because I’ve done so many laps and goodbyes and I keep coming back,” Fleury said. “I’m thankful I got the opportunity to come back for one more go-around.”
Fleury, a former Vezina Trophy winner who also played with Vegas and Chicago, is second in NHL history only to Martin Brodeur with 575 wins and 1,051 regular-season games played, and his 76 NHL shutouts are tied for 10th in league history.
But this night was meant to celebrate Fleury, who is most well-known for his time in Pittsburgh where he won three Stanley Cups and holds nearly every major goaltending record in Penguins’ history, including games played (691), wins (375), goals-against average (2.58), shutouts (44), playoff games (115), playoff wins (62) and playoff shutouts with 10.
Fleury, who practiced with the Penguins on Friday, wore his familiar bright, yellow pads and a specially made mask to commemorate the special weekend. Fleury was offered a choice as to when he could play on Saturday and he opted for the third period to try to win one more game with the Penguins.
The sellout crowd rose to its feet in unison and gave Fleury a standing ovation as he led the Penguins’ from the tunnel to begin the third period. Loud chants of “Fle-ury” “Fle-ury” and “One More Year” filled the arena minutes after the puck dropped to begin the period. Fans erupted with thunderous applause each time Fleury made a save or touched the puck, including stops on Hudson Fasching, Cole Sillinger and Erik Gudbranson.
In the final two minutes, with the game in hand, the crowd showered Fleury with chants of “Thank You Fleury.” When the final horn sounded, fellow franchise cornerstones Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang embraced Fleury one more time in the crease.
“Every time he touched the puck, the reception was unreal,” Crosby said. “It felt like a playoff game. It was nice to get him the win.”
Fleury spent the first 13 seasons of his career with the Penguins. He helped Crosby, Malkin and Letang win the Stanley Cup in 2009, 2016 and 2017 before Vegas selected Fleury in the 2017 expansion draft.
Pittsburgh traded up to draft an 18-year-old Fleury No. 1 overall in 2003 during a tumultuous period in which the franchise nearly moved. More than two decades later, Pittsburgh is no longer a playoff fixture, but Fleury helped stabilize the franchise and turn the Penguins into one of the NHL’s marquee teams.
His signature moment with Pittsburgh came June 12, 2009, in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final against Detroit. Fleury made a last-second desperation, post-to-post diving save on Detroit’s Nicklas Lidstrom to seal a 2-1 win and deliver Pittsburgh its third Stanley Cup.
The fans remembered on Saturday.
Before the game, crowds gathered multiple rows deep behind the Penguins’ goal hoping to catch a glimpse of Fleury during his final pregame warmup with the team. Many took photos and video to commemorate the moment, wore familiar No. 29 jerseys and held homemade signs expressing their love for Fleury, who lobbed pucks over the glass in between facing shots.
“It was surreal to be back with the Penguins and seeing the guys in front of me,” Fleury said. “It was amazing. It was just like old times.”
Marc-Andre Fleury's final game in Pittsburgh was an unforgettable experience for many, fans and longtime teammates alike.
But there was one young Pittsburgh Penguins' prospect that had a front-row seat - and unique perspective - to all of it.
Goaltender Sergei Murashov, 21, was the other netminder who participated in Saturday's 4-1 pre-season win over the Columbus Blue Jackets at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh. He manned the net for the first two periods of play, stopping 12 of 13 shots faced, and he had the best seat in the house to witness the third-period shutout performance by one of his childhood idols.
“Marc-Andre is a part of Penguins’ history, which I was watching growing up," Murashov said. "Yesterday on the bench, I caught myself, like, ‘Oh, it’s Malkin, it’s Crosby, Fleury, Karlsson, Letang, Rust… you know, all these guys are just playing, and I’m a part of all this.' So, it’s huge for me, and I’m grateful for it. Really, truly grateful."
Pens Inside Scoop (@PensInsideScoop) on XSergei Murashov: "Yesterday on the bench, I caught myself, like, ‘oh, it’s Malkin, it's Crosby, Fleury, Karlsson, Letang, Rust... all these guys are just playing, and I'm a part of all this.' So, it's huge for me, and I'm grateful for it. Really, truly grateful."He also said that, despite some language barriers, he was able to converse with and learn from Fleury throughout the evening.
“It’s an honor. It’s definitely a great honor for me to be a part of this memory of life and I’m grateful for it' moment," Murashov said. "I was a couple of times confused how to speak with him, but he’s a nice guy, he’s great, so it was pretty easy to figure out. So, overall, it was definitely a great night, great opportunity for me to learn and to watch him. Of course, we talked for a bit, but even just watching him is awesome."
Penguins Oust Blue Jackets On 'Fleury Night' In PittsburghWhat a game, what a night, and what a player.
Fleury, 40, officially called it a career at the end of last season with the Minnesota Wild, and he signed a paid tryout (PTO) contract a few weeks ago to join the Penguins for one last practice and one last pre-season game - creating a storybook-type ending by coming full-circle on a long, successful career in and out of Pittsburgh.
He joined the Penguins for practice on Friday, and he also attended Saturday's morning skate ahead of the tilt against Columbus. It was only a few short days, but Murashov learned a lot from being around Fleury, even in that short time.
“Yeah, I asked a couple questions of him," Murashov said. "So, I will keep it with me. Like, maybe, 20 years later, I will say the same thing to another young guy. But, it’s precious for me.”
'I'm Happy It All Worked Out': Fleury, Teammates Relish Chance To Share Ice One Last TimeNormally, NHL training camp is an all-business kind of affair, and that's exactly how it's been at Pittsburgh Penguins' camp this year.
Murashov was selected by the Penguins in the fourth round (118th overall) of the 2022 NHL Draft. He has been - in simple terms - dominant at pretty much every level he's played, and that includes a Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (WBS) rookie record-breaking 11-game win streak. He posted a .913 save percentage in 15 AHL starts and a .922 save percentage for the Wheeling Nailers of the ECHL last season, and that followed some remarkable play for Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in the MHL and KHL from 2021-24, when he never had a save percentage below .925.
His performance in training camp up to this point - as well as his track record - have led many to believe that he could be a long-term solution for the Penguins at the goaltending position, which has been a sore spot for the organization since their back-to-back Stanley Cup runs in 2016 and 2017. Murashov has a long way to go in terms of getting there, but the potential is more than evident.
"I really like him," Fleury said of Murashov. "He's a young goalie but still poised, and he's got some good abilities - how quick he is, how he can move, how he understands the game. He'll be very good for a long time.

In a lot of ways, having Murashov and Fleury take the net in the same game was poetic, as it offered a reflection of the past as well as a glimpse into the future at the position for the Penguins. Even the atmosphere itself had that kind of reflection, as the loud, sold-out house was simultaneously a relic of past success that involved future Hall-of-Fame players on the ice and a beacon of hope for the future with some of the young talent out there, too.
There are any number of lessons that Murashov could have taken from Fleury over the couple of days he spent with him, but more than anything, the Penguins' legend served as a reminder of why the young goaltender decided to play the game in the first place.
“Obviously, the best word to describe it is ‘inspiring,'" Murashov said. "It was really inspiring how he showed up in these last couple of days. There was huge energy on the ice, off-ice, from him. I think everyone got this feeling of joy, feeling of having fun, as he’ll be playing, he’ll be smiling.
"I think it’s a reminder to just enjoy what you’re doing.”
Marc-Andre Fleury Steals Show For Penguins On Saturday It was Marc-Andre Fleury's night in Pittsburgh on Saturday as the Pittsburgh Penguins picked up their second preseason win. They beat the Columbus Blue Jackets by three, 4-1, thanks to two goals from Rickard Rakell, one from Sidney Crosby, and one from Ville Koivunen.

The Ottawa Senators continue their 2025 preseason slate on Sunday afternoon when they take on a split-squad New Jersey Devils team at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City. It's the first of two preseason games in that city as the Sens try to build fan engagement in Nordiques country. Puck drop is set for 3:00 p.m. ET.
For Ottawa, it’s the third game of their exhibition schedule after splitting a pair of matchups against the Toronto Maple Leafs last week. Head coach Travis Green confirmed on Saturday that Linus Ullmark will start in goal on Sunday and is scheduled to play the full 60 minutes. The veteran netminder is looking for a sharper outing after surrendering three first-period goals in a 4–3 loss to Toronto’s “B” squad during his preseason debut.
The Sens injury list includes Drake Batherson, Nick Jensen, Lars Eller, and Tyler Kleven. Kleven and Jensen skated yesterday, and no one has been ruled out for opening night.
Only half of the Devils' training camp roster is in Quebec to face the Sens on Sunday. The other half have stayed behind to host the Washington Capitals at the same time at Prudential Center in Newark. While the rosters hadn't been released at publishing time, it's likely the Devils' higher-end players will suit up for Sunday's home game. And if that's the case, the Sens would get the Devils' B squad.
After the results of the Sens' first two preseason games, where the less talented rosters came out as the victors, we all got a good reminder not to take B squads lightly. What they lack in talent, they often make up for in motivation.
Ottawa Senators Preseason Promo Tour Rolls Into Quebec Nordiques CountryThe Ottawa Senators' six-day preseason trip to Quebec City has already been a whirlwind of bonding with that city's hockey community.
Both clubs are coming off similar seasons in 2024–25. New Jersey finished third in the Metropolitan Division with 91 points, while the Sens landed six points ahead in the standings and grabbed the final Eastern wild card spot. Each team was eliminated in the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The Devils’ attack last season was led by Jesper Bratt, who posted 88 points including 67 assists. Captain Nico Hischier paced the club in goals with 35. Like the Senators, New Jersey sought veteran stability in goal last year, acquiring Jacob Markstrom after four seasons in Calgary. The Swedish netminder went 26-16-6 with a 2.50 goals-against average, .900 save percentage, and four shutouts.
Ottawa’s own Swedish starter, Ullmark, put together a 25-14-3 record in 2024–25 with a .910 save percentage, 2.70 goals-against average, and four shutouts. Offensively, Tim Stützle topped the Senators with 79 points, including a team-best 55 assists. Captain Brady Tkachuk led the club with 29 goals.
New Jersey’s camp roster includes several former Senators, among them Connor Brown, Angus Crookshank, and Evgenii Dadonov, whose messed-up trade to Vegas in 2021 will cost the Sens their first-round pick next year. Stefan Noesen and Jonathan Gruden are both former Sens draft picks, while Calen Addison was at Sens camp last year.

The Chicago Blackhawks have many young players looking to make the NHL roster out of training camp. Oliver Moore is undoubtedly one of them, and the 20-year-old forward certainly has the potential to.
After signing his entry-level contract with the Blackhawks back in March, Moore played in his first nine NHL games and showed promise. During them, he recorded four assists and six hits. Overall, the 2023 first-round pick did not look out of place and produced decent offense. Now, he will be looking to earn a full-time role with the Blackhawks from here.
Moore certainly made a real case for himself for a spot on Chicago's roster with his preseason performance agianst the St. Louis Blues on Sep. 27. The young forward stepped up in a huge way for the Blackhawks, as he scored the club's game-winner at the 16:57 mark of the third period.
Moore showed off his excellent skill with this goal, too. After getting control of the puck in the neutral zone, Moore used his speed before beating Blues goaltender Will Cranley top shelf with a nice wrister.
While it was a nice goal, Moore's teammates on the ice did not notice at first, as they were in a scrum with the Blues players.

With Moore looking to make the NHL roster, scoring a goal like this certainly came at a good time for him. He will now look to build off it from here.
As of Sunday, the Toronto Maple Leafs have not made a significant roster cut to get closer to the 23-man roster limit. They'll need to trim the roster down before their regular-season opener on Oct. 8 against the Montreal Canadiens.
The Maple Leafs have two more exhibition games, both against the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday and Saturday. This gives Leafs GM Brad Treliving and coach Craig Berube a bit more of a sample size to decide whether top prospect Easton Cowan will make the NHL straight out of the OHL, or start his professional career with the AHL’s Toronto Marlies.
The 20-year-old’s resume is close to being impeccable. He was named MVP of the OHL regular season and playoffs in 2024, featured in two World Junior Championships for Team Canada and was the MVP of the 2025 Memorial Cup with the London Knights to end his junior career. Additionally, Cowan led the Memorial Cup in scoring in both campaigns.
However, there is a school of thought that Cowan would benefit from easing into the focal point of the hockey universe in Toronto with the Marlies. That would avoid him being the center of attention with the Leafs in the aftermath of Knights alumni Mitch Marner leaving for the Vegas Golden Knights.
Cowan has not seemed out of place playing with NHLers in the first three pre-season games. Last Tuesday, he set up Bobby McMann for a power-play goal in a 3-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators.
In the next game on Thursday, he registered an assist and a plus-four rating on the fourth line with Steven Lorentz and Scott Laughton in a 7-2 win over the Canadiens.
The young winger had played every pre-season contest until Saturday’s 4-2 loss to the Habs.
“(Easton) did a lot of good things. He was physical, he played direct, got some opportunities on net. Overall, I liked his game,” Berube told reporters after Toronto's loss to Ottawa.
“I think the conversations I had with him before camp, he is doing those things. Simplified hockey, using his speed. Obviously, he has abilities out there with making plays and things like that, which he showed me tonight. But they were the right plays at the right time, which is important. I thought that he played direct all game and he worked and hounded, back checked, did a lot of good things.”
Why Craig Berube Can't Yet Answer Whether Easton Cowan Will Make The Maple Leafs Out Of CampEaston Cowan is going to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs at some point this year. It’s just a matter of when.
The Leafs do not have many roster spots up for grabs in training camp. With two goaltenders and likely carrying eight defensemen to start the season, Berube will be limited to 13 forwards to start the season.
Furthermore, with the addition of center Nicolas Roy and left winger Dakota Joshua as bottom-six checkers over the summer, Toronto has to decide on two players from a group of five forwards in Cowan, Nick Robertson, David Kampf, Michael Pezzetta, and Calle Jarnkrok to play on the fourth line and as an extra forward.
The advantage Toronto has with Cowan is that he is waiver-exempt and can go down to the AHL freely, whereas the other four would have to clear waivers to be sent down to the Marlies.
Cowan logically would seem to be destined to start the season at Coca-Cola Coliseum, but not because of his performance so far. The Leafs have to determine whether playing him in a feisty bottom-six role in the NHL is more beneficial to his future than playing top-line minutes and both special teams in the minors to start the season.
Sending him down would buy Treliving more time to see if there is a trade market for Robertson, who would likely get claimed if waived - Jarnkrok, or Kampf, but if Cowan continues to impress in the remainder of the pre-season, he may force the Leafs' hand and earn at least a nine-game look to start the year.

The Vancouver Canucks’ center depth has changed throughout the course of recent years. Only two of the team’s opening-night centres from last season have returned, while Elias Pettersson remains the only one from opening night of the 2021–22 season. With many players looking for an elevated position this year, let’s take a look at the Canucks’ full center depth chart heading into 2025–26.
Elias Pettersson
Despite a down year last season, Pettersson is still the Canucks’ top center and could even push for a Selke Trophy when on his A-game. The forward has been capable of putting up 100-point seasons while locking down the opposition and putting up decent numbers in the faceoff dot. Many have seen promising things from him during the pre-season — but Pettersson will need to translate these to the regular season for Vancouver to have a successful year.
Filip Chytil
Since being acquired by the Canucks back in February, lots of conversation has surrounded Chytil. His injury status and concussion history is something that has many fans worried, though the forward insists that he’s feeling better heading into the 2025–26 season and that he’s planning on taking things day-by-day. For what it’s worth, Chytil has also been one of the Canucks’ standouts throughout training camp and pre-season, showing off that speed and skill that could make him a very dangerous player for the opposition to face.
Teddy Blueger
Blueger is currently entering his last season of a two-year contract with the Canucks that he signed back in 2024. A bottom-six dynamo, the forward has previously meshed well with players like Conor Garland and ex-Canuck Dakota Joshua. He’s capable of chipping in a little offence while primarily working on the defensive-side of being a forward. He has tallied back-to-back 25-point seasons with the Canucks while remaining one of the team’s most consistent penalty killers.
Aatu Räty
Räty may have been one of the most talked-about players heading into training camp this year. The forward had an impressive 33-game stint with the Canucks last year, scoring seven goals and four assists, and is looking to lock down a full-time NHL role before the season starts. He worked on a lot of things during the off-season to make himself a better all-around player, his skating being a notable thing, but will face a lot of competition with fellow centers such as Max Sasson and Nils Åman also vying for a spot.
Max Sasson
Sasson made his NHL debut in the 2024–25 season and looks to only be going up from there. The forward spent 29 games with Vancouver last year, posting three goals and four assists. He then headed back to Abbotsford to help the AHL Canucks clinch their first Calder Cup in franchise history, with this run cementing Sasson as one of the team’s most noticeable players due to his energetic style of play and high shot on goal totals. He is currently on the hunt for a full-time NHL role and is one of the favourites to claim one.
Nils Åman
Åman’s history with the Canucks stretches back to the 2022–23 season, where he first made the team’s opening lineup. Since playing in 68 games that season, his NHL game count has decreased little by little, with the forward only playing in 19 games last season partially due to injury. Even so, he’s been one of the more-reliable bottom-six call-ups for the Canucks throughout his tenure, which could make the team more eager to keep him on the roster for longer periods of time.
*In theory, you could also include Linus Karlsson and Joseph LaBate in this category, though neither has played in a center role much as of late, so it may be best to consider them wingers for now.

Recent Examples Of Vancouver Canucks Who Played Regular Season Games The Same Year They Were Drafted
Canucks’ Vilmer Alriksson Has Eyes Set On Upcoming Season
Braeden Cootes
If it weren’t for a boatload of nuances, Cootes would likely make the Canucks’ roster out of training camp and pre-season. The 18-year-old has impressed insurmountably since donning the Canucks colours in the middle of September, doing so while paired up with players such as Kiefer Sherwood, Evander Kane, and Jonathan Lekkerimäki. Cootes has earned an NHL opportunity, but unfortunately is unlikely to get it unless Vancouver is willing to move on from other players in their system via waiver wire. With Cootes likely returning to the Seattle Thunderbirds of the WHL as captain, an extra season of marinating may be what the center needs to become the next Bo Horvat of the Canucks.
Why Braeden Cootes Should Start The 2025-26 Season With The Vancouver CanucksAs the Vancouver Canucks head towards the 2025-26 season, one of the big debates revolves around 2025 first-round pick Braeden Cootes. After a strong showing at training camp, as well as in Vancouver's first pre-season game, debates have already started surrounding whether the 18-year-old should be on the NHL roster when the season opens. While there are positives and negatives to Cootes beginning the year with the Canucks, giving him a spot on the opening night roster could be beneficial for both the organization and the player.
Ty Mueller
The 2024–25 season was Mueller’s first in the AHL, having come off three NCAA seasons spent with the University of Nebraska-Omaha. As a rookie, Mueller earned himself heavy defensive minutes — including during high-stakes Calder Cup Playoff games, a stint at the AHL All-Star Classic, and the trust of Abbotsford head coach Manny Malhotra. With one — or a few — AHL Canucks likely graduating to the NHL this season, Mueller will end up with more minutes down in Abbotsford, giving him room to showcase his skills and potentially build up an NHL campaign for the coming seasons.
Riley Patterson
Patterson, a 19-year-old drafted 125th overall in 2024, enters his third OHL season with a new opportunity. Having previously spent two years with the Barrie Colts, Patterson is now a member of the Niagara IceDogs and currently has four assists in his first two games played. He made a great impression during the Canucks’ Prospects Showcase in mid-September, particularly during the team’s second game, after filling in on the team’s top-line after an injury to Cootes. While Patterson does still need some time to grow, the center could be a positive surprise for the Canucks in the coming seasons.
Kieren Dervin
Dervin, a prospect drafted 65th overall by the Canucks this year, is beginning his first full season in the OHL this year, but will move to the NCAA come 2026–27. A strength of his is his ability to play on both sides of the ice while chipping in a little offensively — though the level of his offensive talents will likely be explored more this year. The speedy center is still only 18, meaning he has lots of time to fully flesh out his game before looking to the NHL.
Matthew Perkins
Perkins is a fourth-round pick from the 2023 NHL Draft. He has spent the past two seasons with the University of Minnesota-Duluth in the NCAA, and is embarking on a new opportunity with Northeastern University starting this year. Perkins will need to work on his game a little more in the coming years, though his hockey IQ seems to be a promising point in his playing style.
Matthew Lansing
Lansing was the Canucks’ final selection in the 2025 NHL Draft, going 207th overall in the seventh round. The center’s experiences include stints with the USHL, NTDP, and OJHL, though he’ll be starting this season with Quinnipiac University of the NCAA. Lansing is known more for his defensive game and will try to showcase this more in his first NCAA season.
Daimon Gardner
Gardner was selected back in the 2022 NHL Draft, going 112th overall in the fourth round to Vancouver. He spent the past two seasons in the NCAA, going from a six-point season in 29 games with Clarkson University to a 14-point year in 32 games with St. Cloud State University. He’ll look to build on this offensive progression this year, in his second season with St. Cloud State.

The Chicago Blackhawks started the day by cutting their roster down to 38 players, including 21 forwards, 12 defensemen, and five goaltenders. Jackson Cates, Gavin Hayes, Martin Misiak, and Stanislav Berezhnoy are all being assigned to the AHL’s Rockford Ice Hogs.
On Sunday evening, the Blackhawks have a quick turnaround with a game against the Minnesota Wild. Their game day roster is as follows

⏰ 5:00 PM CT
📺 @CHSN__
📰 https://t.co/He0CBe8q6tThis lineup looks a lot closer to the one that will go against the Florida Panthers on the NHL’s opening night of the season.
In particular, Ryan Greene, Kevin Korchinski, Nolan Allan, Ashton Cumby, Oliver Moore, AJ Spellacy, and Nick Lardis will all skate with this NHL-caliber roster to see how they fit in.
Drew Commesso and Arvid Soderblom will be the two dressed goaltenders. Spencer Knight appears to be ready for the role of a number-one goalie, and these two will make solid backups.
The Minnesota Wild are dressing a handful of veterans who will be in the opening night lineup, but their roster for this evening is largely filled with young players and roster hopefuls looking to make the team. This is Chicago’s first chance as a mostly NHL group to face a test like this in the preseason.
