Long-time NHL goalie Marc-Andre Fleury is going home to where his career began. Fleury recently agreed to a tryout contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins . The Stanley Cup champion says he's going to enjoy one last ride , and literally one last game, with his old teammates Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin.
“I wanted to go back where it all began. I see it as a wink to my past. I'll wear the Penguins jersey one last time and I'll see some old teammates and friends again. It's a way to come full circle,” Fleury said, per NHL.com.
The new Penguins goalie says though this is not a full-fledged comeback to the NHL.
“I'm still retired,” Fleury said.
Fleury will suit up for his old team on September 27, when the team plays a NHL preseason game against the Columbus Blue Jacket
