Playing career

edit

As a youth, Fleury played in the 1998Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournamentwith the College-Français Rive-Sudminor ice hockeyteam fromSouth Shore, Montreal.[3]

Fleury playedjunior ice hockeyin theQuebec Major Junior Hockey Leaguefor theCape Breton Screaming Eagles,beginning in2000–01.After a strong2002–03 campaignthat included a silver medal withTeam Canadaat theWorld Junior Championshipsand QMJHL Second Team All-Star honours, he was chosen first overall in the2003 NHL Entry Draftby thePittsburgh Penguins.The Penguins acquired the first overall pick from theFlorida Panthersin a trade that sent the first and 73rd overall picks to the Penguins in exchange forMikael Samuelssonand the third and 55th picks.[4]He is only the third goalie to be chosen first overall in theNHL draft,afterMichel PlasseandRick DiPietro.[5]Playing four seasons total with Cape Breton, Fleury's jersey number 29 was later retired by the club in his fourth NHL season on January 25, 2008.[6]

Pittsburgh Penguins (2003–2017)

edit

Fleury immediately made his NHL debut in2003–04as the youngest goaltender in the league at 18 years old (three years younger than the second-youngest, Rick DiPietro of theNew York Islanders).[7]He appeared in his first NHL game on October 10, 2003, against theLos Angeles Kings,recording an impressive 46-save performance, which included apenalty shotsave, in a 3–0 loss.[8]Fleury recorded his first NHL win in his very next start, on October 18, with 31 saves in a 4–3 win over theDetroit Red Wings.[9]His first NHLshutoutcame on October 30, in a 1–0 victory over theChicago Blackhawks.[9]Fleury shared time with goaltendersJean-Sébastien AubinandSébastien Caron[10]and lived up to first-overall-pick expectations early, earning Rookie of the Month honours in October with a 2–2–2 record, 1.96goals against average(GAA) and.943save percentage.[7]As the season progressed, however, his performance began to sink, mainly due to Pittsburgh's poor defence.[9][10]The team regularly gave up over 30 shots per game, and rarely managed to become an offensive threat.[11]He was loaned to Team Canada for the2004 World Junior Championshipsin December and, upon returning with a second consecutive silver medal, he was sent back to the QMJHL on January 29, 2004.[10]In light of financial difficulties for the franchise, it is believed Fleury's $3 million contract bonus, which he would have potentially received if he stayed and met several performance goals, was a factor in the decision to return him to Cape Breton.[10]To no avail, Fleury offered to forfeit his bonus to remain with the club.[12]Fleury finished the QMJHL season with Cape Breton in a first round elimination and was subsequently assigned to Pittsburgh'sAmerican Hockey League(AHL) affiliate, theWilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins,and appeared in two post-season games.

As NHL play was postponed due to thelabour dispute,Fleury continued to play with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in2004–05,where he posted a 26–19–4 record, a 2.52 GAA and a.901 save percentage. When NHL play resumed in2005–06,Fleury started the season once more in the minors, but was quickly called up by Pittsburgh for a game against theBuffalo Sabreson October 10 to replace an injuredJocelyn Thibault.[13]He continued to play between Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Pittsburgh until November 28, after which he remained with Pittsburgh. With the Penguins finishing last in theEastern Conferenceand allowing a league-worst 316 goals,[14]Fleury recorded a 3.25 GAA and a.898 save percentage. Competing for time with Sébastien Caron and Jocelyn Thibault, Fleury emerged as the Penguins' starting goalie.[15][16][17]

Despite playing behind a shaky defense, Fleury was able to impress the team management with his technique and performance and signed a two-year contract extension worth $2.59 million in the off-season.[18]In theproceeding campaign,Fleury's stats improved significantly. Playing behind a better Penguins team, which featured rising superstarsSidney CrosbyandEvgeni Malkin,he recorded five shutouts and a 2.83 GAA. He earned his 40th win in a 2–1 victory over theNew York Rangersin the season finale, joiningTom Barrassoas the only Penguins goaltenders to record 40 wins in a season.[19]He also brokeJohan Hedberg'ssingle season franchise recordfor most games and minutes played. Fleury made hisNHL playoffdebut against theOttawa Senators,the eventualStanley Cup finalists,in the first round and recorded his first playoff win in Game 2, recording 34 saves in a 4–3 win atScotiabank Place.[20]

Fleury started the2007–08 seasonslowly, then won four straight games before suffering a high-ankle sprain against theCalgary Flameson December 6.[21]He returned as a starter on March 2,[22]after a brief conditioning stint in the AHL with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. While sidelined, he decided to change the colour of his goaltending equipment from the bright yellow that had become his signature to plain white, to gain an optical advantage over shooters. He was also influenced and challenged by the very strong play ofTy Conklin,who took the team's starting job after being promoted from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in Fleury's absence. Upon his return from injury, Fleury helped the Penguins win theAtlantic Division,going 10–2–1 with a 1.45 GAA[22]en route to a 12–2 playoff run to the2008 Stanley Cup Finalsagainst theDetroit Red Wings.In Game 5 of the Finals at Detroit, he stopped 55 of 58 shots in a tripleovertimewin for the Penguins to stave off elimination.[23]The Penguins lost the series in six games. Fleury's attempt to cover an unseen loose puck by sitting on it in Game 6 resulted in him propelling the puck into the net; theown goalturned out to be the Stanley Cup-winner, credited toHenrik Zetterberg.[24]At the start of the following season, he said:

"I'm done with it. I swore enough about it. Nothing I can do anymore. I don't think we lost the finals on one goal, you know what I mean? I feel bad because I kind of put it in, but it was abest-out-of-seven.They had a good team, and they beat us. "[25]

Fleury completed the playoffs with three shutouts – a new team record for one playoff season – and a 14–6 record. His.933 save percentage was also tops in the playoffs. In the off-season, Fleury signed a seven-year, US$35 million contract with the Penguins, on July 3. It included a no-movement clause, and a limitedno-trade clausethat triggered in the2010–11 season.[26]

Fleury compiled a 35–18–7 record in2008–09to help the Penguins to a fourth-place finish in the Eastern Conference, entering the2009 playoffsas the defendingPrince of Waleschampions. Fleury was a major factor in the first round against the Penguins' intrastate rivals thePhiladelphia Flyers.In Game 2 at home, with a 2–1 deficit late in the third, Fleury made a key toe save against Flyers top goal scorerJeff Carterwhich was eventually pivotal as the Penguins tied the game late in the 3rd and won late in overtime. After the Flyers won Game 3 comfortably, Fleury once again stole a game for the Penguins in Game 4, stopping 43 shots to keep a surging Flyers line-up at bay and ensure a 3–1 lead. The Flyers won in Pittsburgh in Game 5, but Fleury saved another performance for the final period of Game 6. After initially letting in 3 goals, Fleury did not allow another as the Penguins rallied from a 3–0 deficit to win 5–3. The Penguins went the full distance in the second round against theWashington Capitals.In the deciding game seven, Fleury made a key breakaway glove save early in the contest against Capitals superstarAlexander Ovechkin,helping the Penguins eliminate Washington by a 6–2 score.[27]Fleury and the Penguins then swept theCarolina Hurricanesin the Conference Finals to return to theStanley Cup Finalsagainst the Detroit Red Wings for the second consecutive year. After being pulled in game five after allowing five goals, Fleury made another momentous breakaway save in game six, this time with 1:39 minutes left in regulation againstDan Clearyto preserve a 2–1 lead and help the Penguins force a game seven.[28]Playing the series-deciding game inDetroit,Fleury played an integral role in the Penguins 2–1 victory to capture the franchise's third Stanley Cup, making two critical saves in the final seconds. After stopping an initialHenrik Zetterbergshot from the right faceoff circle, the rebound came loose toNicklas Lidströmat the left faceoff circle, forcing Fleury to make a diving stop with 1.5 seconds remaining to preserve the win and the Stanley Cup.[29][30]

Fleury recorded a 37–21–6 record during the2009–10 season,as the defending Stanley Cup champions Pittsburgh again finished fourth in the Eastern Conference.[31][32][33][34]After dispatchingOttawain six games, the Penguins were upset by the eighth-seededMontreal Canadiensin round two, ending their chance of a Stanley Cup repeat, with game 7 marked the last game at theMellon Arena.[35]Fleury recorded a 2.78 goals against average during the Playoffs.[36][37][38]

WithSidney CrosbyandEvgeni Malkinsidelined with injuries for much of the2010–11 season,Fleury and the Penguins' defence were relied on to carry the team to the playoffs.[39][40][41]Fleury finished with a 36–20–5 record, and the Penguins finished fourth in the Eastern Conference.[42][43][44][45]The Penguins squared off against theTampa Bay Lightningin the first round of the playoffs, where they were defeated in seven games despite taking a 3–1 series lead early. Fleury posted a.899 save percentage in the series.[46]

Backup goaliesBrent JohnsonandBrad Thiessenstruggled through much of the2011–12 season,leaving Fleury as the only viable goaltending option.[citation needed]Fleury played 67 games in the season, starting 23 consecutive games at one point leading up to the All-Star break, and finished the season with 42 wins, second only to theNashville Predators'Pekka Rinne.Despite the impressive regular season campaign, Fleury had a less-than-impressive playoff run, being eliminated by thePhiladelphia Flyersin the first round and posting a.834 save percentage and 4.63 goals against average, as the Flyers advanced in six games.

Fleury returned to the net after the lock-out season with a vengeance, putting some of the best marks of his career in the shortened season. He finished with a record of 23–8, tying him for fourth in the league, while his save percentage and goals against average continued to place him in the top half of starting goaltenders. His playoff troubles continued, however; after posting a shutout in his playoff game, he was less than impressive in following starts, leaving backupTomáš Vokounto start for the remainder of the 2013 playoffs. The Penguins promising2012–13 seasonended abruptly with a 4–0 loss to theBoston Bruinsin theEastern Conference Finals.After the season, however, Penguins officials confirmed that Fleury remained the team's starting goaltender.

Fleury's performance during the regular season during2013–14was similar to his performance the year before. He finished with a record of 39–18–5 and posted a save percentage of.915 and a goals against average of 2.37.[citation needed]Despite a marked improvement in his playoff performance over the prior year, the Penguins lost in the second round to theNew York Rangersdespite taking an early 3–1 lead in the series.[citation needed]

On November 5, 2014, the Penguins signed Fleury to a four-year extension with an average annual value of $5.75 million.[47]On November 18, 2014, he earned his first shutout against the Montreal Canadiens, making 27 saves for a league-leading fourth shutout of the season, with a final score of 4–0.[48]On November 24, 2014, Fleury recorded his300th NHL win,becoming the third-youngest and third-fastest player to reach the milestone.[49]On April 11, Fleury recorded his league leading tenth shutout in a 2–0 victory against theBuffalo Sabresto secure the last wild card spot in the East.[citation needed]

In the 2015–16 season, the team struggled through the first half, resulting in the firing of head coachMike Johnstonand the hiring of new coachMike Sullivan.Fleury played a great second half of the season before suffering a season ending concussion. He finished the season with an impressive 35 wins in 58 games played. The team made a final push with up-and-comerMatt Murrayin goal and qualified for the playoffs. Despite the Penguins qualifying for the 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs, Fleury was unable to play due to post-concussion syndrome until Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final against theTampa Bay Lightningwhere he subbed in for Murray at the start of the third period.[50]Fleury then started Game 5, which the Penguins lost 4–3 in overtime.[51]Fleury was then benched in favour of Murray.[52]The Penguins would go on to win the Stanley Cup with Murray in goal, defeating theSan Jose Sharksin six games.[52]

Fleury with the Stanley Cup in 2017

In the 2016–17 season Fleury played 38 games and accumulated 18 wins.[53]When Matt Murray was injured during warm-ups of Game 1 of the playoffs versus theColumbus Blue Jackets,Fleury took the starting position and led the Penguins to a 3–1 win.[54]Fleury continued to lead the Penguins through the series, and his 49 saves on 51 shots in Game 5 helped the Penguins win the series against the Blue Jackets 4–1. With Murray out, Fleury continued to be the starter for the Penguins through the second round versus the back-to-back Presidents' Trophy-winningWashington Capitals.The Penguins defeated the Capitals for the second consecutive time, this time in seven games, with Fleury shutting them out in Game 7, and advanced to face theOttawa Senatorsin the Eastern Conference Finals. Following a 5–1 loss in Game 3, the Penguins opted to go with a healthy Murray, who remained the team's starter en route to a Stanley Cup championship victory, defeating theNashville Predatorsin six games. The win was the third Stanley Cup of Fleury's career.[citation needed]

Vegas Golden Knights (2017–2021)

edit

On June 21, 2017, with the emergence of Matt Murray, Fleury willingly waived his no trade and no movement clauses to be left exposed by the Penguins for the2017 NHL Expansion Draft,where he was subsequently selected by theVegas Golden Knights.[55]Pittsburgh also traded their second round pick in the2020 Entry Draftas an incentive for Vegas to select Fleury, in order for the team to be relieved of his nearly $6 million cap hit.[56]He stopped 45 of 46 shots in the Golden Knights' first NHL game, a 2–1 victory over theDallas Stars.[57]On October 15, 2017, Fleury was placed on Long Term Injury Reserve (LTIR) after taking a knee to the head fromAnthony Manthaof theDetroit Red Wingson October 13.[58]He was activated off LTIR on December 10, 2017, after missing 25 games.[59]Fleury was chosen to represent Las Vegas during the2018 NHL All-Star Game.During the NHL All-Star Weekend, he won the inauguralSave Streak competitionwhere he saved 14 consecutive shootout attempts.[60]On March 12, 2018, against the Philadelphia Flyers, Fleury earned his 400th career win with a final score of 3–2.[61]

Fleury started for the Knights during the first round of the2018 playoffs.On April 17, 2018, the Golden Knights were able to secure a 4–0 record over theLos Angeles Kingsto sweep the first round.[62]On May 6, after Fleury posted a shutout, the Golden Knights were able to move on to the Western Conference finals by beating theSan Jose Sharksin Game 6 of their playoff series.[63]On May 20, 2018, Fleury led the Golden Knights to a victory over theWinnipeg Jetsin the Western Conference Finals, which allowed Fleury to earn a shot at a fourth Stanley Cup.[64] During the playoffs a Vegas casino created a chocolate sculpture showing him doing a butterfly.[65]Fleury was in goal for each game of the Knights' five game loss to the Washington Capitals in the2018 Stanley Cup Finals.

In the 2018 off-season, Fleury re-signed with the Knights on a three-year, $21 million contract.[66]Nearly halfway through the2018–19season, Fleury played 45 games and led the NHL in wins (27) and shutouts (6). Because of his stellar play, he was again selected to represent the Golden Knights in the2019 NHL All-Star Gamefor the second straight year.[67]In Game 7 of Las Vegas's first round playoff series against theSan Jose Sharks,Fleury and the Golden Knights gave up four goals in four minutes after a controversial 5-minute major penalty was assessed to the Golden Knights because of teammateCody Eakincross-checking Sharks' forwardJoe Pavelski.The Golden Knights ultimately lost Game 7 and the series to the Sharks.[68]

With Vegas unable to find a stable backup, Fleury was frequently overplayed during the 2019–20 season, posting a 2.77 goals against average and.905 save percentage.[citation needed]Vegas would eventually trade forRobin Lehnerduring the season, allowing Fleury to share the net as a tandem with Lehner.[69]Fleury played sparingly during the2020 playoffs,largely serving as Lehner's backup as the Golden Knights returned to the conference finals, losing to theDallas Starsin five games.[citation needed]

The pandemic-shortened 2020–21 season saw Fleury have a bounce back from a mediocre 2019–20 campaign. At the age of 36, Fleury recorded a career-best 1.98 goals against average and a.928 save percentage, helping the Golden Knights to their third final four appearance in four seasons. In Game 3 of the semifinals against theMontreal Canadiens,Fleury misplayed the puck behind his net, coughing up the puck toJosh Anderson,who tied the game with 1:55 left in regulation time and later scored the overtime winner to give the Canadiens a 2–1 series lead.[70]As a result, Lehner started in net for the Golden Knights in Game 4, which they won in overtime to even the series at 2.[71]Fleury returned in Game 5, but the Golden Knights lost 4–1 and the Canadiens took a 3–2 series lead,[72]so Lehner played in Game 6 which the Canadiens won in overtime to eliminate the Golden Knights and advance to the2021 Stanley Cup Finals.[73]At the end of the season, Fleury was named to theSecond All-Star Team,and awarded his firstVezina Trophyand firstWilliam M. Jennings Trophy.[74]

Chicago Blackhawks (2021–2022)

edit

On July 27, 2021, with the Golden Knights in need of salary cap space, Fleury was traded to theChicago Blackhawksin exchange for minor league forwardMikael Hakkarainen,making Fleury the first goaltender sinceDominik Hašekto be traded as the defending Vezina Trophy winner.[75]According to both Fleury and his agent Allan Walsh, Fleury was not notified by the Golden Knights about the trade, and the two learned about it onTwitter.[76][77]After being traded, Fleury reportedly contemplated retirement. However, on August 1, Fleury announced that he intended to play for the Blackhawks in the 2021–22 season.[78]

After the team began the season with a historically poor 0–7–2 start that would ultimately lead to the firing of coachJeremy Colliton,Fleury recorded his first win as a Blackhawk on November 1, 2021, in a 5–1 win against theOttawa Senators.[79]On December 9, Fleury reached his 500th win in a shutout against the Montreal Canadiens, becoming the third goaltender in NHL history to reach the mark (afterPatrick RoyandMartin Brodeur).[1]On January 8, 2022, Fleury became the first goaltender in NHL history to beat all 32 teams in a win against theVegas Golden Knights.[80]

With the Blackhawks struggling and pivoting into a team rebuild, the possibility of trading Fleury became a subject of intense speculation in the leadup to the 2022 trade deadline, given his elite reputation and the impending expiration of his contract. Any such trade was complicated by agentlemen's agreementthat former Blackhawks general managerStan Bowmanhad made with Fleury in convincing him not to retire, wherein he would not be traded without his consent. New general managerKyle Davidsonstated that he intended to honour that arrangement.[81]For his part, Fleury said "If I move, I would love a chance to win. That's what I play for, and that's what I love. But it's still a big 'if' at this point."[82]

Minnesota Wild (2022–present)

edit

On March 21, 2022, Fleury was traded to theMinnesota Wildin exchange for a conditional2022second-round pick, which would become a first-round pick if the Wild reached the2022 Western Conference Finalwith Fleury winning four games in the process.Bill Guerin,the general manager of the Wild, was formerly a teammate of Fleury's on the Penguins.[83]He made his debut with the team in a March 26 game against theColumbus Blue Jackets,backstopping them to a 3–2 overtime victory. After the game a fan threw a bouquet of flowers on the ice. Fleury stated that was the first time that has ever happened.[84]

Fleury recorded a 9–2–0 record with a.910 save percentage in 11 regular season games with the Wild. The team's other goaltender,Cam Talbot,had gone 8–0–3 with a.925 save percentage since Fleury's arrival, as a result of which there was debate as to who the team would choose to start the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs against theSt. Louis Blues.Ultimately, the nod was given to Fleury.[85]With Fleury in net the Wild initially took a 2–1 series lead, before losing the fourth and fifth games to face elimination in Game 6. Fleury was replaced by Talbot, but the Wild were eliminated by the Blues 4 games to 2.[86]

On July 7, 2022, Fleury opted to forgofree agencyand signed a two-year, $7 million contract extension to remain with the Wild.[87]The Wild's decision to extend Fleury caused conflict with Talbot, who was subsequently traded to theOttawa Senatorsin exchange forFilip Gustavsson.[88]On October 30, Fleury earned his 62nd shootout win and became the leader in NHL career shootout wins when the Wild defeated the Blackhawks.[89]Gustavsson would outperform Fleury for much of the middle of the season, leading to some speculation as to who would serve as the team's starter.[90]Fleury himself acknowledged his difficulties, assessing that he "been in my head probably too much."[91]His play improved as the Wild headed into March, embarking on a lengthy points streak.[92]

On December 31, 2023, Fleury played his1,000th NHL game,becoming just the fourth goaltender to reach the mark.[2]On January 15, 2024, Fleury became the second-winningest goaltender in NHL history after earning his 552nd win in the Wild's 5–0 victory against theNew York Islanders.[93]

On April 9, 2024, the Wild were eliminated from playoff contention, ending Fleury's 17-year playoff streak, as he had last missed the playoffs with Pittsburgh in2006.[94]On April 17, he signed a 1-year, $2.5 million extension with the Wild.[95]

Fleury won two silver medals withTeam Canadaat theIIHF World Junior Championships.He made his first appearance in2003inHalifax.Although Canada was defeated by Russia 3–2 in the gold medal game, Fleury posted a 1.57 GAA and was named the Top Goaltender and tournament MVP.[12]

Although Fleury was playing in the NHL the next year leading up to the tournament, thePittsburgh Penguinslent him to Team Canada. Fleury expressed a desire to remain with his NHL club, but Penguins management decided the high-profile tournament would be good for his development.[12]He led Team Canada to the gold medal game for the second consecutive year, but made a costly mistake that lost his team the championship. With the game tied 3–3 with less than five minutes remaining in regulation, Fleury left his net to play the puck and avert a breakaway opportunity forPatrick O'SullivanofTeam USA.Fleury's clearing attempt, however, hit his own defenceman,Braydon Coburn,and trickled into the net.[96]This proved to be the difference, as the Americans held on for a 4–3 win.[97]

On December 30, 2009, Fleury was named toTeam Canadafor the2010 Winter OlympicsinVancouver.[98]He did not play in the tournament, however, as the goaltending duties were split betweenMartin BrodeurandRoberto Luongo,but still received a gold medal as Canada defeated theUnited States3–2 in the final.[98]

In spite of the threat of fines for himself and the team, he wore the helmet during warm-ups, though he did not start the game.[105]

Fleury is known by the nickname "Flower",[98][106]derived from the English translation of his last name (fleuriis "in bloom", or "in flower", in French).[107]Hisgoaltender masksalways feature afleur-de-lison the backplate (in addition to the initials EFGT, honouring his four grandparentsin memoriam),[108]and have frequently featured some sort of flower on the front artwork as well.[citation needed]
