Former Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury has been traded by the Vegas Golden Knights to the Chicago Blackhawks. Fleury had just been named the NHL’s top goaltender, when he won the Vezina Trophy for the first time in his career. He helped lead Vegas to the Stanley Cup semifinals. After learning of the trade, Fleury’s agent said he is re-evaluating his hockey future.
The Washington Capitals have signed captain Alex Ovechkin to a new five-year $47.5 million contract that will keep him in D.C. through the 2025-26 season. The 36-year old Ovechkin will begin his 17th NHL season in October.
