While the activities of the season 2023-24 of the National Hockey League are currently in full swing, a Quebec goaltender well known to fans is currently in the spotlight and could also be in the spotlight once again during the campaign.
Indeed, last July, we reported to you that the goalkeeper of the Minnesota Wild, Marc-Andre Fleury could join a select club as quickly as before the holidays if he managed to compete at least 15 matches during this period.
Having started the season with 985 games played in career (currently 992)the goalkeeper from Sorel-Tracy could reach the plateau of 1000 matches and thus join the three greatest Quebec goalkeepers in history in terms of matches played in the league.
However, although the plateau of 1000 matches played in the Bettman circuit represents an impressive step in a player’s career, Fleury can also be proud of having reached, earlier this week, another completely crazy plateau!
Indeed, in the game between the Wild and the New York Rangers, the Quebecer made history by becoming the third goalie to have made the most saves in NHL history.
Despite a defeat of 4 to 1Fleury distinguished himself by ahead of Patrick Roy and harvesting its 25 801e stop.
Although he is currently 25 808 saves, the Wild goalie is far behind the first two.
- Martin Brodeur – 28,928 stops
- Roberto Luongo – 28,408 stops
- Marc-André Fleury – 25,808 saves
- Patrick Roy – 25,800 stops
- Tony Esposito – 24,761 stops
Now let’s hope he reaches 1000 career games as quickly as possible!
