Marc-André Fleury (born November 28, 1984 in Sorel , Québec ) is a Canadian ice hockey goalkeeper who has been under contract with the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League (NHL) since June 2017 . In the 2003 NHL Entry Draft , he was selected in the first place by the Pittsburgh Penguins. After he was frequently used by the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins , the Pittsburgh farm team , from 2004 onwards , Fleury established himself as the regular goalkeeper of the Penguins during the 2005/06 NHL season and helped them advance to the playoffs the following year. After reaching the final series in 2008 , he won his first Stanley Cup with the Penguins in the 2009 playoffs . This was followed by two more successes in 2016 and 2017 . Fleury holds numerous goalkeeping records for the Penguins, including most missions, wins and shutouts . Alongside Tom Barrasso , he is considered the most successful goalkeeper in team history to date.
At the international level, Marc-André Fleury won the silver medal with Team Canada at the 2003 and 2004 Junior Ice Hockey World Championships. At the 2010 Winter Olympics , he was in the squad of the Canadian national team and won the gold medal with them without having completed a single mission.
Career
Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec (until 2003)
Marc-André Fleury began playing ice hockey in his hometown of Sorel-Tracy at the age of six after his aunt had started training with him on the street a year earlier. He quickly decided on the goalkeeper position, as he was not a good goalscorer and was also not substituted in goal. After he was active at several junior clubs in his hometown, he moved to the Collège Charles-Lemoyne in Longueuil and played as a goalkeeper in the local school team, the Riverains du Collège Charles-Lemoyne , in the Midget AAA league of the province of Québec . Among other things, he stayed 126 minutes straight without conceding a goal. In 2000 Fleury was selected in the Midget Draft of the Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec in 16th position of the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles from the province of Nova Scotia .
Then, at the age of 15, he moved to Cape Breton, which is about 1200 kilometers from his hometown. In addition, Fleury, who grew up in French-speaking Québec, first had to switch to the English language in Nova Scotia. His first game in the highest junior league of Québec he played on September 23, 2000 against the Castors de Sherbrooke , which the Screaming Eagles lost 6-0. By the end of his rookie season, Fleury had played 35 games and recorded twelve wins. In the play-offs , his team first defeated the Saguenéens de Chicoutimi in seven games, but were eliminated in the following round. During the play-offs, Fleury was only on the ice for a good 30 minutes.
In the 2001/02 season Marc-André Fleury was the goalkeeper for the Screaming Eagles and completed 55 games in the regular season , in which he achieved 26 wins and a catch rate of 91.5 percent. In third place in the Maritime Division , the team qualified for the play-offs and defeated the Drakkar de Baie-Comeau and the Halifax Mooseheads in the first two rounds , before Fleury's team met the Acadie-Bathurst Titan , as in the previous year . Against the team from New Brunswick, however, the Screaming Eagles were eliminated again in five games. In the play-offs Fleury played all appearances for his team.
In the following season of the LHJMQ Marc-André Fleury was invited to the CHL Top Prospects Game in January 2003 , in which the 40 most highly rated players for the upcoming NHL Entry Draft appear every year . At the end of the regular season, he was also awarded the Michael Bossy Trophy , which is awarded to the player in the league who has the highest chances in the National Hockey League . Because of his performance in the season, Fleury was also voted Defensive Player of the Year and in the LHJMQ's Second All-Star Team . He was also elected to the third All-Star Team by the umbrella organization of the top three Canadian junior leagues, the Canadian Hockey League . Although he was one of the most successful players in the league with these awards at the award ceremony of the trophies, Fleury could not convince with the Screaming Eagles in the play-offs, where the team was swept against the division rivals Halifax Mooseheads in the first round, i.e. eliminated, without winning a single game.
Beginnings in the NHL and lockout (2003-2005)
Before the 2003 NHL Entry Draft , in which the 30 teams of the National Hockey League secured the rights to junior players, Fleury was one of the most highly rated candidates to be selected in the first place. The draft year was later described as one of the best in league history. Actually, the Florida Panthers would have drawn first as the winners of the Draft Lottery , but a few hours before the event they gave this draft pick together with their third-round voting rights to the Pittsburgh Penguins , who in return gave them two draft picks for third and 55th overall position as well as the Striker Mikael Samuelsson transferred to Florida. In the Entry Draft, the Penguins finally selected Marc-André Fleury as the overall first . After Rick DiPietro , who was drafted in 2000, he was only the second goalkeeper in the history of the NHL Entry Drafts to be selected in first position.
Fleury signed a performance-related contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins on October 6, 2003, four days before the season started. After his appointment to the NHL squad, he initially lived with the family of Mario Lemieux , the owners of the franchise, until he found his own apartment. The goalkeeper made his NHL debut at the start of the 2003/04 NHL season against the Los Angeles Kings . Fleury fended off 46 of 48 shots on goal, including a penalty shot by Esa Pirnes . Although the Penguins lost the game 3-0, Fleury was subsequently voted the game's first star in a spectator vote. He was one of only three goalkeepers in the 2000s who made their NHL debut at the age of 18. His first win was in the next game, a 4: 3 against the Detroit Red Wings . At the end of the month he managed the first shutout , a clean sheet game, of his NHL career against the Chicago Blackhawks . For his strong performance in the first month of the season, Fleury was voted Rookie of the Month for October.
In the course of the season his performance diminished and he returned after playing 21 games in the NHL, in late January 2004 back to his junior team in the LHJMQ. In doing so, he missed the necessary criteria for a salary bonus that would have earned him $ 3 million. Fleury played ten games for the Screaming Eagles at the end of the season, of which the team won eight. This was the first time in their history that the team was in first place in the division and received a bye for the first round of the play-offs. In the second round she met the Saguenéens de Chicoutimi , where the Screaming Eagles did not live up to their role as favorites. Although they won the first game in the series, they were eventually eliminated after five games.
A few days after the last game in the LHJMQ, Marc-André Fleury was appointed to the roster of the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins , the farm team of the Pittsburgh Penguins in the American Hockey League , for the first time. These started a few days later in the play-offs for the Calder Cup , the title of the AHL. After Fleury played the first game there, a 4-5 defeat after overtime , for the Penguins, he was replaced in goal by Andy Chiodo and was a reservist for the rest of the play-offs. After victories against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers , the Philadelphia Phantoms and the Hartford Wolf Pack in the first three rounds of the play-offs, the Penguins managed to move into the final series of the Calder Cup. There the penguins were swept by the Milwaukee Admirals . Fleury was used again when he was substituted on in the last game of the final series. However, he could no longer prevent a 2: 7 defeat.
After it became clear that the 2004/05 NHL season would be canceled due to the players' strike ( lockout ), the general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Craig Patrick , decided that Marc-André Fleury and Andy Chiodo would be the goalkeeper duo of the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins should form for the following AHL season. After a short time Fleury managed to establish himself as the team's regular goalkeeper and completed over 50 missions in the 2004/05 season , in which he achieved 26 wins and five shutouts. As fourth placed in the East Division , the team reached the play-offs. Fleury was replaced after the first game, a 2-5 defeat against the Binghamton Senators , again by Chiodo in the goal of the Penguins. After the team turned the series against the Senators, they were eliminated in the second round against the eventual Calder Cup winners, the Philadelphia Phantoms .
First full seasons and Stanley Cup final (2005–2008)
At the beginning of the 2005/06 season , Fleury initially stayed in Wilkes-Barre. The management selected Sébastien Caron as the second goalkeeper behind NHL goalkeeper Jocelyn Thibault , so that Fleury could collect more match practice in the AHL. After an injury to Thibault at the beginning of the season, he was appointed to the NHL squad for the first three games of the season. He then returned to the AHL in mid-October 2005, where he played a perfect start to the season with six wins in a row and a goal average of 1.17. He helped the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins to nine wins in a row, which was the longest winning streak in team history. After the end of October, he was named AHL goalkeeper of the month.
At the end of November, he was called back to the NHL squad of the Pittsburgh Penguins due to his performance and Thibault's injury problems. During the rest of the season Fleury completed over 50 league games and was finally able to establish himself as a regular goalkeeper in Pittsburgh. However, the Penguins finished the season with only 58 points in last place in the division and the penultimate in the entire league. With a total of 316 goals conceded, they were bottom of the league. Since the team clearly missed the qualification for the play-offs, Fleury returned to the play-offs in the AHL, where he played five games in Wilkes-Barre and alternated in goal with Dany Sabourin . After defeating the Bridgeport Sound Tigers in the first round like two years earlier, the Penguins failed to the Hershey Bears , which later won the Calder Cup. In the off-season , Fleury signed a new two-year contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins as a free agent .
The 2006/07 season began Marc-André Fleury with an outstanding performance when he at the 4: 0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers fended off 40 shots and thus equal to a shutout was able to record. By the end of the season, he had won 40 games with the Penguins, making it the second best season performance in franchise history. With 67 completed games, 3,905 minutes on the ice and 1,770 saved shots, Fleury also set three new internal records in the Pittsburgh Penguins franchise. With this achievement he helped the Penguins to second place in the Atlantic Division and thus to their first place in the play-offs since 2001 . There the team met the Ottawa Senators , but were eliminated after five games.
After the start of the 2007/08 season , Fleury fell in the game against the Calgary Flames in December 2007 and had to leave the ice almost five minutes after the start of the game due to an injury. The next day the goalkeeper was diagnosed with an ankle injury and was out for over two months. He made his comeback in early February 2008, initially in the AHL, where he played a few appearances for the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins before returning to the NHL at the end of the month in the game against the Boston Bruins . Of the last 13 games of the season, the Penguins won ten with goalkeeper Fleury and were able to put themselves at the top of the Atlantic Division . When Fleury was voted Player of the Month for March, only Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals had to admit defeat. As in the previous year, Pittsburgh faced the Ottawa Senators in the play-offs. The team managed a sweep with four wins in four games and the successful revenge for the 2007 defeat. After beating the New York Rangers , the team also beat local rivals Philadelphia Flyers in the finals of the Eastern Conference. Fleury underlined his performance in the play-offs with a shutout in the last game of the series. For the first time after winning the title in 1992, the Penguins were back in the final series of the Stanley Cup , where they met the Detroit Red Wings . After three defeats in the first four games, Fleury led the "Pens" back into the series in a 4-3 win after three overtime periods in the fifth game. In the game, which was the fifth longest final game in NHL history with a playing time of just under 110 minutes, Fleury fended off 55 shots and was voted the game's first star . In the sixth game, however, the Penguins could not use their home advantage, so Detroit won the final series and thus the Stanley Cup.
Stanley Cup win (2008/09)
Before the start of the new season, Marc-André Fleury signed a seven-year contract extension in July 2008 that would bring him a total of about $ 35 million. In the third game of the season against the New Jersey Devils , he set a new personal best in the regular season with 47 saved shots, but could still not prevent a 1: 2 defeat. After starting the season with eight wins in 14 games, Fleury suffered a groin injury in mid-November 2008 and was again out for a month. On December 18, he made his comeback in the win against the Atlanta Thrashers and resumed his regular position in goal, but initially could not quite build on his performance before the injury. It wasn't until the end of February 2009, shortly after Dan Bylsma took over the coaching post in Pittsburgh, that a series of seven straight wins began, while Fleury recorded the 100th victory of his NHL career on March 1. At the end of the regular season, the Penguins were in second place in their division and fourth in the Eastern Conference, so they were qualified for the play-offs for the third time in a row.
There the Penguins succeeded after victories against the Philadelphia Flyers and the Washington Capitals in the final of the Eastern Conference, a sweep against the Carolina Hurricanes and thus the renewed win of the Prince of Wales Trophy . As in the previous year, the Detroit Red Wings faced the final series of the Stanley Cup. Although the initial success of the Red Wings, who won the first two games at home, was repeated, this time Pittsburgh managed to equalize the series afterwards. Fleury fended off 37 shots in the fourth game and was then voted the first star of the game by the fans . With the series still tied after six games, the decisive seventh game was forced. With a score of 2: 1 for Pittsburgh, the Red Wings tried to prevent the impending defeat shortly before the end of the game by deploying a sixth attacker. Fleury was able to keep the lead with a spectacular save against two shots from Henrik Zetterberg and Nicklas Lidström . The Pittsburgh Penguins thus won the Stanley Cup. For Fleury it was the first time he won the trophy.
After 2009
At the start of the 2009/10 season , Fleury managed a series of eight wins with the Penguins before the team settled in a safe play-off place during the season. A few days before the end of the season, on April 6, 2010, the Canadian played his 300th appearance in the NHL. At the end of the season the team - just like last year - placed second in the Atlantic Division and fourth in the conference. After beating the Ottawa Senators in the first round of the play-offs, the Penguins faced the Canadiens de Montréal . Although Fleury's team took the lead three times in the series, they finally lost 2-5 in the seventh game and were eliminated as defending champions in the second round. In the last game Fleury was substituted at 0: 4.
After a weak start to the 2010/11 season with six defeats in the first seven games, Fleury achieved his 150th victory in the NHL on November 12, 2010. He was the seventh youngest goalkeeper in league history to ever reach this milestone. After this game, the Canadian started a series of eleven wins in a row in November and December 2010. This put the Penguins in first place in the league in mid-December. Only a 2-3 defeat against the Philadelphia Flyers ended the winning streak of the "Pens" and pushed them from the top position. In January 2011, Fleury was voted for the NHL All-Star Game in a fan voting . With over 425,000 votes, he took third place and was one of six players who were directly voted for the game by the fans; the other participants were selected in a draft by the team captains. Fleury ended up playing on Nicklas Lidström's team , which won the game 11:10.
A few game days before the end of the season, Fleury set a new franchise record on March 27, 2011 after he had not conceded a goal for 150 minutes and 14 seconds. Only a goal from Ryan Carter ended the series. At the end of the season, Fleury had booked 36 wins and an average of 2.32 against goals and was thus significantly involved in the play-offs of the Penguins. For this he was awarded the Pittsburgh Penguins' Most Valuable Player Award , the team's internal trophy for the most valuable player of the regular season. The team was again in second place in the division and fourth in the Eastern Conference, where it met the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round . After the Penguins had already led 3-1 in the series, Tampa Bay managed to turn it and win after seven games.
Although captain Sidney Crosby was missing at the beginning of the 2011/12 season , Fleury's team started with 21 points from the first 13 games. The Penguins thus laid the foundation for their return to the play-offs early on. In January 2012, Fleury remained undefeated for twelve games. At the end of the season, Marc-André Fleury had recorded a total of 42 victories, which he missed the franchise record of Tom Barrasso from the 1992/93 season, in which the Penguins won the Presidents' Trophy , by one victory. He also equalized his own record of 67 contested season games. For the fourth time in a row, the Penguins finished the regular season with the same ranking. As second in the division and fourth in the conference, the team met the Philadelphia Flyers, but could not meet the high expectations there. Although Pittsburgh caught a 3-0 deficit in the series to 3-2, they were eliminated after the defeat in the sixth game.
In the 2015/16 season Fleury won the Stanley Cup a second time with the Penguins, where he missed the start of the playoffs due to injury and subsequently only made two appearances due to strong performance on the part of Matt Murray . Fleury also shared the working time with Murray in the following season 2016/17, at the end of which he won his third Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh.
Vegas Golden Knights
In June 2017, Fleury was selected by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft . However, this was only possible because the Canadian voluntarily waived the enforcement of his no-movement clause (NMC) anchored in the contract . In addition to this election (and to protect other players from voting), Pittsburgh sent a second-round vote to Las Vegas for the 2020 NHL Entry Draft . With the team he surprisingly reached the final of the Stanley Cup in the 2018 playoffs , but lost to the Washington Capitals there .
International
Fleury was appointed to Team Canada for the first time in 2003 when he took part with the junior national team at the U20 World Cup, which was held in the Canadian cities of Halifax and Sydney , the hometown of Fleury's team at the time. There he moved with Team Canada after winning the group in Group B directly into the semi-finals, where they beat the USA. In the final, the hosts met the Russian team around Alexander Ovetschkin . Despite a 2: 3 defeat, Fleury was named the best player and best goalkeeper of the tournament, at the same time he was also elected to the All-Star Team of the U20 World Cup.
While Fleury spent his first season with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the NHL, he received another invitation to the U20 World Cup in Finland in December 2004 . Right in the opening game he recorded a shutout when Team Canada defeated the hosts 3-0. After the team had won all four preliminary round matches and Fleury only conceded four goals, they were again directly in the semi-finals, where they defeated the Czech Republic 7-1. In the final, the match between Canada and the USA resulted in a new edition of the semifinals from the previous year. After the Canadians were in the lead for a long time, Fleury was defeated three times in the final third, so that the USA won 4-3 in the end. Fleury won his second silver medal in a row.
Although he had not previously played for the men's team of Team Canada, Fleury was nominated together with Roberto Luongo and Martin Brodeur as a goalkeeper team for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver , Canada . After finishing second in the preliminary group and victories against the German, Russian and Slovak selections in the knockout round of the tournament, Canada advanced to the final for the gold medal and met the USA, who were the only team to beat the hosts in the preliminary round . Team Canada won the Olympic gold medal with a 3-2 win after extra time. Fleury was also awarded the gold medal, although he was used as reserve goalkeeper not a single minute and spent most of the time in the stands, while Brodeur was available as a reserve for Luongo.
Play style and special features
Marc-André Fleury, like most of today's NHL goalkeepers, plays in butterfly style . In doing so, he falls on his knees and spreads the lower legs with the leg guards as far away from the body as possible. At the same time, he pulls the schooners together in the middle to cover the so-called five hole , the gap between the two legs. For close shots and farmer tricks , Fleury also often uses the “paddle down” technique, in which he places the club horizontally on the ice and tries to fend off the puck.
Fleury's greatest strengths are his quick reflexes and good positional play. The Pittsburgh Penguins describe him as an agile, fast and athletic goalkeeper who is particularly strong in pressure situations. He is also considered a specialist in shootouts .
Fleury's trademarks have been his mustard-yellow leg guards and gloves since his youth. After the goalkeeper clothing of the Pittsburgh Penguins was standardized by a supplier change in the 2007/08 NHL season, it comes with a white and gold model. Already in the LHJMQ Fleury wore the shirt number 29, which he kept when he moved to the AHL and the NHL. On January 25, 2008, his shirt number was blocked for his junior team, the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles, and a banner was hung under the ceiling. He was the first player on the team to receive this honor. The number 29 has not been awarded to any Screaming Eagles player since then.
Fleury's nickname Flower is derived from his last name and is the translation of the French fleur (German flower).
