While there has been interest in veteran goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, it appears the 41-year-old is set to remain retired.
Fleury told Michael Russo of The Athletic on Saturday that a return to play is unlikely as the deadline to sign to be playoff eligible looms on March 6.
“Probably not,” Fleury said of making a comeback. “A couple teams asked. But I just said, ‘No.’ It’s tough for some reasons.”
Fleury retired after last season, posting a 14-9-1 record with an .899 save percentage and 2.93 goals-against average in 26 games with the Minnesota Wild.
He has remained around the Wild, skating with the team at times this season, but it appears his next job could in the front office under general manager Bill Guerin.
