Former Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury isn’t quite done playing hockey.
Fleury, 40, officially retired from the NHL after 21 seasons when the Minnesota Wild were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs on Thursday.
But Fleury could take the ice once more. He confirmed during exit interviews on Monday that he’s joining Team Canada for the IIHF World Championship.
