By Thomas Williams -
It's the Marc-Andre Fleury Bowl. The veteran netminder has made his return to Pittsburgh once more and potentially for the final time as an active player.
Outside of the festivities, the Wild are coming off of an unfortunate defeat to the Flyers over the weekend and are hoping to bounce back in a massive way by defeating the lowly Penguins -- a team ripe with aging veterans that are just trying to hold on to some form of success and glory. They are getting insanely terrible defensively, so there is opportunity for this to be a blowout.
Oh, and Jared Spurgeon is making his return.
When: 6:00 p.m. CT
Where: PPG Paints Arena
TV: Bally Sports North, ESPN+
Radio: KFAN 100.3
