Marc Andre Fleury and Sidney Crosby met up for an emotional reunion during today's morning skate ahead of tonight's clash between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Minnesota Wild. Flower is set to receive a pregame ceremony hosted by the Wild and Penguins after accomplishing a special milestone back on December 31st.

Fleury set for a big night



The Minnesota Wild goalie and former Penguin Marc Andre Fleury will be honoured tonight for 1000 games played in the NHL. He recently beat Patrick Roy and put himself second in most games won of all time, only trailing New Jersey Devils legend, Martin Brodeur. Penguins captain Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang presented Flower with a mural of all his accomplishments in the NHL.




This can potentially be his last game vs his former team in his career as his contract with the Wild is set to expire at the end of the season, and his future remains unclear, as he may be heading towards retirement

Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang shared a comment on this moment for Fleury.

«He's had quite the career,» Crosby said, per NHL.com. «Another milestone. It'll be nice to celebrate with him.»

«I think you just try to remember the great moments. Obviously, this will be a special one if that's the case (Fleury's last game against the Penguins). So yeah, I think in times like that, you reflect a little bit and then I think you look back at the great memories that you had.»

Going to be a special night for Marc Andre Fleury and an emotional one for Penguins fans who adored him during his stay.
