Marc-Andre Fleury will play one period tonight for the Pittsburgh Penguins (1-1-1), and that will be the end of the storied career of the second all-time winningest goalie and perhaps the greatest prankster to walk through the Penguins’ locker room. Fleury and the Penguins face the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday at PPG Paints Arena.

The puck drops just after 7 p.m.

Will Fleury start or will he finish the game? Coach Dan Muse only smiled and promised to keep us in suspense. Sergei Murashov is the other goalie tonight.

The Penguins had a sluggish start Friday but rallied when the game got rough. Robby Fabbri and Philip Tomasino scored third period goals for the Penguins’ come-from-behind 3-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings.

Connor Dewar scored the first Penguins goal with an impressive turning backhand under duress.

Tristan Jarry allowed two goals on 13 shots, and Arturs Silovs stopped the only seven shots he faced for the win. Muse has been splitting the games between goalies, though tonight, Fleury is scheduled for only one period.

The lineup will be heavy on the Penguins’ NHL regulars. Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang will play in Fleury’s curtain call. The Core Four should get one more skate.

Another story is also the players surrounding the NHL regulars. Tristan Broz, Rafael Harvey-Pinard, Ben Kinel, Avery Hayes, Harrison Brunicke, and Caleb Jones are on the roster. A couple of them won’t play, but their inclusion on the varsity roster speaks to their futures, as well as their chance to make the squad next week.
