One major offseason question for the Chicago Blackhawks has been answered.
Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, who was acquired during a Fleury (get it?!) of Blackhawks transactions in the last week, has confirmed that he will play for the Blackhawks in the 2021-22 regular season. It was first reported in a tweet from @BarstoolChief on Thursday and later confirmed by multiple media reports on Sunday morning. The Blackhawks own Twitter account appeared to have confirmed the news on Sunday morning as well:
Chicago acquired Fleury from Vegas on Tuesday for prospect Mikael Hakkarainen in a move that helped the Golden Knights clear cap space.
