Penguins Lineup For Tonight's Marc-Andre Fleury Game Deemed 'Intriguing' By Analysts
For what will be the final professional game in Marc-Andre Fleury's career, the Pittsburgh Penguins put together an "intriguing" lineup as noted by a Penguins analyst.
There will be one final game in the professional career of longtime Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, who returned to the team with a PTO agreement with the intention of playing in a preseason game.
Fleury still intends to retire as he announced he would last year with the Minnesota Wild, but it will be a chance for Penguins fans at PPG Paints Arena to pay their respects and to say goodbye to Fleury in person while looking back at all he did for their team.
The lower bowl in the arena on Pittsburgh's end of the ice was already well filled up with fans who wanted to watch Fleury's warmup routine.
Per Penguins analyst Kelsey Surmacz, the Penguins will have an intriguing lineup for Fleury's last game.
Not only are the big veteran players in Fleury, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang, Erik Karlsson, Bryan Rust, and Rickard Rakell slated to start, they will also ice most of their top organizational prospects - offering fans a glimpse into what the future could look like for the Penguins.

It will be Fleury's last chance to play with so many of his former teammates that he won Stanley Cups with, including Crosby, Malkin, Letang, and Rust.
Fleury helped the Penguins to the 2009 Stanley Cup, which was the franchise's 1st title since Jaromir Jagr and Mario Lemiuex won consecutive Stanley Cups in 1991 and 1992.
Fleury also has his name on the Stanley Cup another 2 times in 2016 and 2017, though he was backup to Matt Murray during each of the deciding title-winning games.
