Prior to tonight’s game in Minnesota, the Wild organization honored former Penguins goaltender and three-time Stanley Cup champion Marc-Andre Fleury for becoming the fourth goalie in NHL history to play 1,000 games and and securing 552 career wins, moving past Patrick Roy (551 career wins) for second-most all-time among NHL goaltenders. Boldy scored first for the Wild just after the midway point of the opening period with a power-play goal. Just a few minutes into the 2nd period, Reilly Smith scored his ninth of the season on a one-timer off a cross-ice pass from Evgeni Malkin. Shortly after, Brodin gave Minnesota the advantage once again, 2-1. Only 61 seconds into the 3rd period, Sidney Crosby’s deflection from one knee went in behind Wild netminder Fleury to tie things up, 2-2, on the power play. However, it would be the Wild who went on to break the tie and win the game, with Kaprizov scoring his 20th of the season.

Were doomed
A breath of fresh air in the digital realm; an innovative departure from the ordinary.😛
No consistency with this team.
I’d be more mad if it was any other goalie we lost to.. Congrats on 1000 games Fleury!🖤💛
They had to let fluery get his 552nd win god i want him back just for his personality and character his play is still really good too i just miss the boys all together those back to back years against detriot man what a time to be a pens fan
Merci flower
Not mad at all. I thought before the game that this was one game that I didn't want the Pens to lose, but I wouldn't be mad if they did. Flower is a legend.
Fleury!!!!! You wonderful B@$turd…. im not even mad lol im just happy to see the Flower in his element. Congrats on the milestone my guy!!!
Why Pgh & Vegas ever got rid of Flowers I will never understand.
And why Buffalo never picked him up was insane.
Great game Flowers !
Congrats on 1000 games ! 🎉
I do not know how to say to the big hole of No. 28 again. …………..got save this
In each lose game, he provided a lot of turnover or loose defence. 😅
Great game, Flower! It makes the loss easier to swallow, giving you a win! Flower power!
& at what point would it take for the Home team to receive a Bench Penalty “Delay of Game” or whatever it would be for their arena’s malfunctions of the horn MULTIPLE TIMES during the visiting team’s powerplay?
Brutal loss. The Jets will be out for revenge so good chance we lose tomorrow. We needed this game and we blew it.
No surprise that Letang is on the ice for every opposing goal . Retire already .
Always disappointing to lose out on much-needed points, esp. when players like the captain hit milestones.
