Marc-Andre Fleury will try to mimic Sidney Crosby as new face of a franchise

LAS VEGAS — The past, present and future for Marc-Andre Fleury converged late Wednesday night at a place that serves $4 hot dogs for happy hour and 24-ounce cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon.

After the expansion draft, when the Vegas Golden Knights claimed Fleury from the Penguins, Fleury and his wife, Veronique, dined at Beerhaus — adjacent to T-Mobile Arena — with a few of his new teammates and one of his old ones, Sidney Crosby.

The conversation wasn’t anything terribly serious, but in the coming weeks it could be. Fleury is the face of the Vegas Golden Knights, whether he likes it or not, the same role Crosby has played for years in Pittsburgh.
