Marc-Andre Fleury will be sporting new artwork on his mask this season — his last in the league.
Ahead of the 2024-25 season, airbrush artist Stéphane Bergeron, who goes by Griff Airbrush, shared three new mask designs on his website that we can expect to see the veteran goaltender wear.
The first two masks are home and away versions, with the same images but different green and white backgrounds. The third mask, featuring a retro design, goes with the Minnesota Wild‘s alternate ’78 jerseys, which are expected to be in the mix again this season.
According to Griff Airbrush’s website, the Quebec-based artist has worked with Fleury over several seasons as well as with other past and present NHL goaltenders such as Roberto Luongo, Corey Crawford and Matt Murray.
Fleury, 39, announced the upcoming season would be his last when he signed a one-year, $2.5-million contract extension with the Wild in April.
A native of Sorel, Que., Fleury had a 2.98 goals-against average and .895 save percentage over 40 games with the Wild last season. He has been with Minnesota since he was acquired during the 2021-22 season in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Across 1,025 career NHL games spanning 20 seasons, the three-time Stanley Cup champion has a 561-330-96 record, 2.60 goals-against average and .912 save percentage.
