Marc-Andre Fleury is currently playing through the final year of his contract, and at 39 years old, this could very well be his last season in the NHL.

Tonight, the Wild are in Pittsburgh, and it could be the last time Fleury plays there in his career.

Head coach John Hynes has made a decision that won't please fans from both teams.

Fleury Won't Play in His Potentially Last Game in Pittsburgh

Hynes revealed that Filip Gustavsson will be the starting goalie tonight against the Penguins.

Fleury was drafted first overall by the Penguins and played 12 seasons there. Benching one of the most respected goalies in the NHL is a move that fans will remember.

This could be Fleury's last opportunity to play in front of Penguins fans, but Hynes decided otherwise.

Do you believe Hynes showed disrespect to Fleury and the fans with that decision?
