What a legend!
Marc-Andre Fleury, born on November 28, 1984, in Sorel-Tracy, Canada, began his NHL career when the Pittsburgh Penguins drafted him first overall in 2003. He won three Stanley Cups with the Penguins in 2009, 2016 and 2017.
Marc-André Fleury started his career in Quebec. The Pittsburgh Penguins drafted him first overall in 2003, making him only the third goalie in NHL history to go first. The two before him were Michel Plasse and Rick DiPietro.
Fleury debuted in 2003 and played 22 games for the Penguins. In 2008, he reached his first Stanley Cup Final, but the Penguins lost to the Detroit Red Wings. The next year, Fleury and the Penguins got revenge by beating Detroit in seven games to win the Cup.
The Penguins kept their core together, which led to back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017.
After the 2016–17 season, the Vegas Golden Knights picked Fleury in the expansion draft. He made an immediate impact and led Vegas to the Stanley Cup Final, where they lost to the Washington Capitals.
Fleury later played for the Chicago Blackhawks and the Minnesota Wild before retiring after the 2024–25 season.
Fleury played 1,052 regular-season games, posted a .912 save percentage, 76 shutouts, and 575 wins. His 575 wins rank third in NHL history, behind only Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur.
He also won an Olympic gold medal, a Vezina Trophy, and a Jennings Trophy.
