Marc-Andre Fleury, a legendary goaltender and former Pittsburgh Penguins star, received a heartfelt farewell in Montreal, where he likely played his last game. The Montreal Canadiens honored Fleury with a pre-game tribute that brought him to tears, culminating in a standing ovation from fans that lasted over two minutes. His emotional night was capped off with an impressive performance, recording a 19-save shutout, making him the first goaltender in NHL history to achieve a shutout as both a teenager and at the age of 40.

Fleury, who grew up nearby, was acknowledged by the entire Canadiens team post-game as they formed a handshake line to congratulate him on his outstanding career. Drafted first overall by the Penguins in 2003, Fleury led the franchise to three Stanley Cup victories before joining the Vegas Golden Knights and later the Minnesota Wild, where he continued to be a formidable presence in goal.
