Not only is Marc-André Fleury back in the line-up, but he gets to go back in time! Check out his fancy new (old) Reverse Retro gear that he's finally ready to debut! The mask design is a tribute to his former goalie coach and Minnesota Northstar, Gilles Meloche. Artwork and photo by Stéphane Bergeron of Griff Airbrush (IG: @griffairbrush). Thanks to Blades of Steel for sharing the photo, as well.
The first time the team showed off their fresh threads was the day we found out about Fleury's injury, so he was unable to participate in the reveal. You can see his pads in this video of him working after morning skate on Tuesday, and how anxious he is to get back in a game.
Fleury is known for a lot of things on the ice, one bonus for off-the-ice skill is his penchant for meaningful flair. Take a look at some of his designs over the years:
First Chicago Mask with the nod to idol Ed Belfour:
Gorgeous Native American Heritage Month tribute design by Patrick Hunter:
His epic combination mask - the last one he wore for Vegas:
The Wild take on the Leafs this afternoon at 1pmCST. And while Gus has been doing a fantastic job holding down the fort, keep an eye out for a fresh flower on the ice.
