MONTREAL -- Marc-Andre Fleury made 19 saves for his 76th NHL shutout, and the Minnesota Wild won their third straight game, 4-0 against the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre on Thursday.

Born in Sorel-Tracy, Quebec, about an hour north of Montreal, Fleury grew up a Canadiens fan before he became a three-time Stanley Cup champion, 2021 Vezina Trophy winner and second to only Martin Brodeur on the NHL career wins list.

This has not been an uncommon occurrence for the Canadiens, to lack juice against teams on a back-to-back when they were rested. This was, in fact, the eighth and final time the Canadiens will find themselves in this situation this season, which is a net positive because they have not taken full advantage of it with a 3-5-0 record.

Carey Price has been an idol for many in Montreal. He is undoubtedly one of the greatest goaltenders in the history of the Montreal Canadiens and the NHL. His forced departure due to the condition of his knee has saddened many.

There won’t be another one like Marc-Andre Fleury. That’s the feeling of Maple Leafs goaltender Matt Murray and winger Ryan Reaves, who have had the pleasure of calling Fleury a teammate in the National Hockey League.
