Minnesota veteran goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury overcomes fluke goal to help Wild beat Edmonton Oilers
Edmonton Oilers forward Kasperi Kapanen looks for a pass in front of Minnesota Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury during the third period at Rogers Place on Nov. 21, 2024.It certainly wasn’t the start Marc-Andre Fleury was expecting in what was otherwise a milestone night for the veteran Minnesota Wild goaltender.
But it was the save that he didn’t make on the game’s very first shot just 27 seconds in that people will likely remember most about the contest. “I let out a couple of ‘fringe’ and ‘fudge’ and then start over, there is nothing you can do anymore and then I stopped the next one.Wild forward Marcus Johansson admitted the goal was sort of amusing.
There was a brief scare as Wild star forward Kirill Kaprizov went down late in the second after Oilers forward and recent call-up Drake Caggiula stepped into him up high with a shoulder hit at mid-ice that sent him crashing hard to the ice, but he was able to return.
