SAINT PAUL, Minn. - The Minnesota Wild today announced the team will hold Marc-Andre Fleury Night when it hosts the Pittsburgh Penguins on Feb. 9, 2024, at 7 p.m. on Bally Sports North and KFAN 100.3 FM. The Wild will commemorate Fleury for reaching 1,000 games played in the NHL and securing 552 career wins, moving past Patrick Roy (551 career wins) for second-most all-time among NHL goaltenders (Martin Brodeur, 691 career wins).

The team will hold a special pregame ceremony and feature Fleury-themed in-game elements throughout the evening. All fans in attendance will receive a commemorative ticket, lanyard and rally towel courtesy of WinCraft. Additionally, the Minnesota Wild Foundation will honor Fleury’s milestones by making a $5,000 donation to the charity of his choice. The team will wear commemorative jerseys during pregame warmups that display Fleury’s name and number on the back and each respective player’s number on the sleeves. The warmup-worn jerseys will be signed by both Fleury and the respective player and offered for bidding in an online auction, held Feb. 9 through Feb. 19, with all proceeds benefitting the Minnesota Wild Foundation.
