MIN@MTL: Fleury gets ovation from Canadiens crowd

Marc-Andre Fleury got two things he probably didn't see coming after playing at Bell Centre on Tuesday: a standing ovation and a pie to the face.

The Minnesota Wild goalie made 27 saves in what was his 545th career victory, placing him just six behind Patrick Roy for second on the career list.

Fans in attendance chose to recognize Fleury, who was announced as one of the game's three stars, with a lengthy standing ovation.

A native of Sorel, Quebec, about an hour outside of Montreal, Fleury had plenty of family and friends in attendance. The Wild shared a postgame photo as evidence.

After playing so well so close to where he grew up, Wild teammates Marcus Foligno decided Fleury needed the shaving cream pie to the face.

It's still early in the season, but that is a tough night to top.
