Fleury said he asked for his kids to come on the ice and was inspired by former Pittsburgh Penguins teammate Pascal Dupuis, who did the same thing in 2015.

“I thought it was cool. And I think it’ll be good memories for me, for them,” Fleury said. “Just to be on the ice and see what it feels like to be there and having all the people around. That was pretty cool.”

The veteran goalie is set to retire at the end of the year after 21 seasons in the NHL. He played 13 seasons with the Penguins, four seasons with the Vegas Golden Knights, four seasons with the Wild and one season with the Chicago Blackhawks.

He won three Stanley Cups with the Penguins in 2009, 2016 and 2017.

Throughout the season, teams have celebrated Fleury’s career including a special ovation in his hometown of Montreal and handshake line by the Washington Capitals.
