Flower was back in the Fortress.

Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury was back in the crease at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday, but this time as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks.
Fleury, who led the Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup Final in their inaugural season back in 2017-18, was visibly emotional as the team played a tribute video to his time in Vegas, which included winning the Vezina Trophy in 2020-21.
Before the game, Fleury made sure to skate over to former teammate and goalie partner Robin Lehner. The pair had a lengthy talk near center ice.

The veteran goalie's time with the team, on and off the ice, was highlighted in the video and punctuated with stick taps from both teams and a standing ovation from fans in attendance.
Fleury was traded to the Blackhawks this offseason.
