TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun reports that teams have been checking in with goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury to gauge whether he would consider returning to the NHL.
“Probably not surprising but hearing that some teams have checked in on Marc-Andre Fleury to see if there’s any chance at all he would consider playing again,” LeBrun posted on X. ”Again, not surprised teams with goalie needs would want to check on it.”
