“I think, just maybe deep breath, look around, take a good look around to keep good memories,” Fleury said. “Like I said, I was very fortunate to play here for so long.

Crosby acknowledged seeing Fleury’s familiar No. 29 in the other net will provide a little extra motivation, though stressed the team doesn’t really need it as it tries to emerge from an early season funk. He remains close with Fleury, who he called a “great friend.”
