Marc-Andre Fleury, Wild Agree to $2.5M Contract for 2024-25 NHL Season

Minnesota Wild goaltender Marc-André Fleury signed a one-year, $2.5 million extension with the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday.

"He's played so well this year for us. It's too soon for him to retire, that's my personal view," Wild general manager Bill Guerin said Wednesday when announcing Fleury's contract.

Fleury, who turns 40 in November, was a three-time Stanley Cup winner and two-time All-Star while playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins and finished with a goals-against average of less than three in 10 straight seasons from the 2006-07 campaign through 2015-16.

He then went to the Vegas Golden Knights for four seasons and earned two more All-Star nods while helping lead them to a Stanley Cup Final. He also won the Vezina Trophy in 2020-21.

Fleury joined the Chicago Blackhawks prior to the 2021-22 campaign, and they traded him to the Wild during that season.

After half a season as a starter in Minnesota, Fleury settled in as a backup behind Filip Gustavsson during the 2023-24 campaign. The veteran has so far made 39 appearances and 35 starts for the Wild, posting a .895 save percentage and 2.98 goals-against average along with two shutouts.

The Wild have Gustavsson signed through 2025-26 and could continue rotating between him and Fleury next season as Jesper Wallstedt continues to develop in the minors.
