Marc-Andre Fleury has exited the NHL after 21 seasons in the net. He's eager for more family time and an end to the on-ice tributes while fully accepting at age 40 that he’s no longer at his best.

Marc-Andre Fleury made his retirement more official Monday. He has unfinished international business though, and could be interested in some role with the Minnesota Wild next season.

After the Wild lost in the playoffs, Marc-Andre Fleury retired from the NHL but committed to the World Championships for Team Canada.

Minnesota Wild star Kirill Kaprizov has completed his fifth season in the NHL with his team falling to the Vegas Golden Knights in six games in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

There’s probably not a person in the Minnesota Wild organization who knows Kirill Kaprizov more than Mats Zuccarello. They’ve shared a bromance for years, on the ice as linemates and off of it. The Russian superstar is known as “Uncle Kirill” to Zuccarello’s two kids.

Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov is entering the final year of his current contract with the team in 2025-26, but is eligible to sign a contract extension starting July 1. He spoke on Sunday about his future with the team after their first round exit from the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
