Fleury entertains young fan in Pittsburgh with shared middle name

Minnesota Wild goalie Marc-Andre Fleury still knows how to win over the Pittsburgh crowd.

With the Wild visiting the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday, the former Penguins netminder made a young fan’s night during warmups after seeing her endearing sign.

The sign – held up rink side by a young girl wearing a Fleury Vegas Golden Knights jersey – read, “Fleury is my middle name!” with a heart drawn in the corner.

Fleury saw the sign and skated over to acknowledge the fan, even posing for a photo with the little girl.

During his time with the Penguins, Fleury won three Stanley Cup titles to cement his legacy in Pittsburgh before he was selected by the Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft.

Despite Fleury no longer wearing the black and gold, it’s clear Pittsburgh’s love for the legendary goalie has not waned one bit.
