Three-time Stanley Cup champion Marc-Andre Fleury is embarking on his final NHL season before calling it a career. He has been a fan favorite wherever he played for his entertaining style he displays in the net as well as his funny personality. He has been known as a notorious prankster during his career and pulled another one off on his teammates last night.

The 39 year old, had the night off last night but wanted to be involved anyway. During a stoppage in play in the first period at Xcel Energy Center, Fleury took to the ice with the team's ice crew while donning a fake mustache and glasses. His disguise was apparently too good as it fooled his teammates.

Fleury skated by the team's bench and shouted, "Let's get it going, boys!" his teammates still didn't recognize him!

Fleury's efforts seemed to have a positive effect on his teammates. The Wild would outscore the Blackhawks 5-1 during the next period, eventually winning the game 7-2.

Fleury signed a one-year, $2.5M extension with the Minnesota Wild in April. He made it known that this would be his last season playing in the NHL.

The 1st overall pick from 2003 has had a sure-fire future Hall of Fame career, winning three Stanley Cups, a Vezina Trophy and a William Jennings Trophy. Fleury has also pulled off some legendary pranks over the years.

Here are a few:

Fleury got his former teammate and good friend Sidney Crosby at the 2022 NHL/NHLPA Player Media Tour in Nevada. He gathered Crosby's gear, and some hockey tape proceeded to bundle various pieces of his equipment together before placing it back in Crosby's stall.

During the 2011 Winter Classic in Pittsburgh, Fleury convinced some of his teammates to help him remove every piece of furniture from the hotel room of Mark Letestu and Ben Lovejoy. After clearing the room, Fleury and his teammates set up the beds, night stands, television and couch in the hallway right outside the elevator.

Fleury was in a prank war with former teammate Brandon Duhaime. This led to the veteran goalie stealing Duhaime's clothes.


How can you not love Fleury. He will be missed when he is gone!
