He received several individual accolades, including four NHL All-Star selections and the Vezina Trophy for best goaltender in 2021.

Fleury was drafted first overall by the Penguins in the 2003 NHL Draft. He is one of only three goaltenders to be selected first overall in the draft’s history. Tickets for his return are currently available on the Penguins’ website.
