Fleury Nearing Retirement Age and Hints Have Been Dropped
At 38, the former first-overall pick is getting near the end of his career. He has played 985 career games, which is only less than Patrick Roy (1029), Roberto Luongo (1044), and Martin Brodeur (1226) for goaltenders in NHL history. Fleury is slated to hit the career mark of 1,000 games this season, which could be a large enough achievement to push him into retirement.
