ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The crowd chants for Marc-Andre Fleury started in the second period and filled the arena again in the waning minutes, as the Minnesota Wild goalie closed in on a long-sought milestone. Once the horn sounded on Fleury's 552nd win in the NHL on Monday night, putting him in sole possession of second place on the career list, Wild players rushed to the crease for a group hug that was overdue for everyone on this struggling club. “Look at how the team rushed out after the game to congratulate him,” coach John Hynes said, reflecting on the impact Fleury has made on every organization he's been with.
