Are the Penguins teasing a Marc-Andre Fleury announcement?
Marc-Andre Fleury, who holds Penguins records for wins and shutouts, will play a farewell exhibition game after signing a professional tryout contract, marking his NHL career's final chapter.
- On September 12, 2025, the Pittsburgh Penguins signed Marc-Andre Fleury to a professional tryout contract, announcing he will practise September 26 and play parts of the exhibition September 27 at PPG Paints Arena.
- Kyle Dubas, Penguins president of hockey operations and general manager, proposed bringing Marc-Andre Fleury back for a ceremonial return, which Fleury framed as a nod to his past while staying retired and planning to `play one period` after last season's retirement tour.
- In his career, Marc-Andre Fleury logged 1,051 regular-season games, ranks second with 575 NHL wins, and won the Vezina Trophy in 2021.
- The Penguins said the organization is honored to welcome Marc-Andre Fleury back to celebrate a full-circle moment, with tickets available on the Penguins' website; he is expected to return to retirement afterward.
- Because Fleury wouldn't accept a third-string role, any broader return would need meaningful playing time; Allan Walsh said five teams, including the Edmonton Oilers, had reached out about a potential comeback.
