29 was the number one star of the game and of the entire city of Pittsburgh Saturday night.

He played the third period, making 8 saves and allowing no goals.

He looked as sharp as he did back when he was a Penguin on those Stanley Cup teams.

His long-time teammates - Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang were on the ice for the final shift before a shootout both teams agreed to.

The crowd chanted several times, saying, “One more year,” and “Thank you, Fleury” at the end.

Fleury led the team off the ice after the game.
