SAINT PAUL, Minn. -Minnesota Wild General Manager Bill Guerin today announced the National Hockey League (NHL) club has signed goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury to a two-year, $7 million contract ($3.5 million average annual value) through the 2023-24 season.
Fleury, 37 (11/28/84), went 28-23-5 with a 2.90 goals-against average (GAA), a .908 save percentage (SV%) and four shutouts in 56 games with the Chicago Blackhawks and the Wild last season.

Fleury was acquired from Chicago in exchange for a second-round selection in the 2022 NHL Draft on March 21, 2022. He went 9-2-0 with a 2.74 GAA and a .913 SV% in 11 regular season games with Minnesota.

He made his 16th consecutive trip to the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2022, the most in NHL history by a goaltender. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound native of Sorel, Quebec, went 2-3 with a 3.04 GAA and a .906 SV% in five playoff contests with the Wild.
Fleury is 520-299-85 with a 2.57 GAA, a .913 SV% and 71 shutouts in 939 career NHL games with Pittsburgh (2003-17), Vegas (2017-21), Chicago and Minnesota (2021-22).
