Here is how the Penguins will line up moments from now in Fleury's final game.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are bringing out their big guns in support of their beloved former goaltender.
On Saturday night, the Pittsburgh Penguins will clash against the Columbus Blue Jackets in preseason action and it may very well be the most highly anticipated preseason game in years. That is because veteran National Hockey League goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will be making a final appearance for his former team, with Fleury expected to play the final 20 minutes of tonight's game.
I already reported earlier today that the Penguins were bringing some big names to this game in what looks to me like a clear effort to ensure a win for Fleury in his final appearance in the black and yellow. Not only do we know that the likes of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang, Brian Rust and even Erik Karlsson will be in the lineup tonight, but we also now know how they will be lining up for Fleury's final game.
Here is your look at the full Penguins lineup, both forwards lines, defensive pairings and goaltenders.
