What adds an intriguing layer to this occasion is Fleury's gesture of securing 24 tickets for his family members to witness the game live, sparking discussions about whether this might be his final appearance in his hometown.
It's important to note that Fleury is currently in the last season of a two-year, $7 million contract, which carries a $3.5 million salary cap hit. If this season marks the conclusion of his illustrious NHL career, the forthcoming game in Montreal holds unique significance for the future Hall of Famer.
