Vegas Golden Knights future Hall of Fame goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury continues to climb the NHL all-time win list.
Ending Saturday night with a 4-1 win over the Arizona Coyotes in the battle for 1st place in the Pacific Division, Fleury made several solid saves to advance into a tie for 6th overall on the all-time win list for NHL goaltenders, tied with former Oilers and Blues star Curtis Joseph, with 454 wins.
Having advanced into 6th overall, Fleury is now hot on the tail of New York Rangers star netminder Hendrik Lundqvist, who holds a current record of 458 career wins, and sits 5th overall in career wins for NHL goaltenders.
Assuming the 1st in the pacific, Golden Knights continue to stay hot and Fleury may have the opportunity to surpass Lundqvist, who is also headed to the Hockey Hall of Fame without any doubt.
Fleury spoke with Jesse Granger of The Athletic regarding the milestone;
“Cujo is a guy I grew up watching. I always enjoyed the battle in his game, and he always had cool gear too!”
Fleury will look to continue climbing the ladder when the Golden Knights host the Anaheim Ducks on New Year's Eve.
