At 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 16, the Penguins will face Marc-Andre Fleury for the first time in his newly-stitched Chicago Blackhawks sweater.
Pittsburgh is no stranger to battles with its former netminder— although the team didn’t see him in a division-divided 2020-21 bubble, the Penguins have battled Fleury five times since his selection in the 2017 expansion draft.

Every time Fleury faces the Penguins, it feels like he ramps up his usual acrobatics— maybe just to remind Pittsburgh fans of how fun it is to have your heart rate spike when you watch your goaltender leaving the crease.
