Kyle Dubas explains how Marc-Andre Fleury agreed to return for final Penguins appearance

There's always the one-day contract thing, but seeing how much fun he had playing at the World Championships and how well he played at the World Championship, as well as conversations with Marc-Andre and Allan Walsh, it just struck me as a good idea for the fan base and for Flower, and we talked about it throughout the summer.

All credit to him, he jumped on board and wants to do it. So I think it'll be a very special night for the fans in Pittsburgh, for the city of Pittsburgh. It's also unique in that there are still a number of players on our team who have played with Flower in Pittsburgh and won championships with him in 2009, 2016, and 2017. So it's just a unique opportunity because he's a unique person, and it should be a very special and exciting night for Marc-Andre and his family, but also for the Penguins and the fans in Pittsburgh.

Ticket prices for the game are skyrocketing

It's understandable why ticket prices are soaring for the game, which is now being treated as one of the hottest tickets in town despite being a preseason game with no points up for grabs in the standings.

Per Ticketmaster, the cheapest price for a single seat in the high upper deck of PPG Paints Arena is $175 US, with lower bowl seats going for as much as $487 US.
