Marc-Andre Fleury Makes The Save Of The Season And Ties Patrick Roy's Record
Marc-Andre Fleury has consistently been one of, if not the best goaltender of his generation. Tonight he showed he still has it as he made some tremendous stops en route to a victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Fleury Makes Save Of The Season In Victory Over Blue Jackets
Fleury has always been known for a flashy glove hand and tonight it was on full display as he made a save of the year candidate on Yegor Chinakhov.
While this save was certainly impressive, it wasn't even his best of the game. Late in the third period he was on his way to the bench with the Wild down a goal but he suddenly had to turn around and make a desperation save after a turnover in his own zone. Remarkably, the Wild would immediately go down the ice and tie the game on the same play.

The night was not over for Fleury. The late goal forced overtime in which the Wild were able to complete the most unlikely of comebacks. In the process, Fleury picked up his 551st career NHL win, tying himself with Patrick Roy for 2nd all time among NHL goaltenders.
Fleury could not have tied the record in a more dramatic fashion if he tried.
