Today, the Minnesota Wild faced off against the Winnipeg Jets where Fleury and the future Hall-of-Famer reached an incredible milestone: 1000 career NHL games played. The feat has only been achieved by Fleury, Martin Brodeur, Roberto Luongo, and Patrick Roy.
Fleury would unfortunately go on to lose his 1000th game as the Winnipeg Jets took down the Wild 3-2 with the Jets getting goals from Adam Lowry, Vladislav Namestnikov, and Dominic Toninato while the Wild were unable to beat Connor Hellebuyck.
