In an emotional evening in Montreal, Marc-Andre Fleury recorded a 19-save shutout as the Minnesota Wild defeated the Canadiens 4-0. The game marked what is expected to be Fleury's final appearance at the Bell Centre, where he received numerous ovations from a crowd filled with over 100 friends and family. The Wild showcased a strong performance with goals from Marco Rossi, Devin Shore, and Liam Ohgren, as well as an empty-netter by Frederick Gaudreau, extending their winning streak to three games. Fleury's season record improved to 11-5-1, adding to his legacy as he prepares for retirement. The Canadiens, struggling with injuries and losing streaks, could not capitalize on their scoring opportunities, including a missed chance by Juraj Slafkovsky hitting the post. The team faces mounting challenges without key players like Kaiden Guhle.

Fleury's career culminates in a season filled with milestones, including his third shutout at the Bell Centre. With this victory, he also solidified his historical record against Montreal, boasting a 13-6-5 all-time regular-season record in the city. The Wild now look ahead to their matchup against the Ottawa Senators, while the Canadiens prepare for a three-game California trip.
