We all got to see Jacob Middleton make his Minnesota Wild debut against the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday, and now it’s Marc-Andre Fleury’s turn.
The veteran goaltender will be making his first in-game appearance as a Wild player tonight against the Columbus Blue Jackets. There have been piles and piles of singing of praises and anticipating as we await a future Hall-of-Famer (and possibly the first) to put on a Minnesota sweater and be in game action.
Having him play on Monday, the literal day that he was acquired, would be a bit unfair; and on Thursday, the team allowed him to go back to Chicago to pack up his house and family, and Cam Talbot got the start and earned the win against the Canucks.
