McAfee challenges Fleury on show to score goal with big reward

Marc-Andre Fleury just hit one career benchmark, moving into second on the NHL wins list. Now, he has a chance to hit another.

During his appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" on ESPN on Wednesday, the Minnesota Wild goalie got a generous offer from the show’s host.

“We have a goalie goal on the year already,” McAfee said. “You put one in, for rest of the year … $250,000 donation to a [charity of your choice].”

“I like it, I like it,” Fleury responded, with a smile.

McAfee -- a known Pittsburgh Penguins fan -- was referring to Tristan Jarry’s goalie goal for the Penguins back in November. Jarry and Fleury won the Stanley Cup together with Pittsburgh in 2016-17, the only season they played together.

Sounds like Fleury has accepted the challenge, so we’ll have to wait and see if he gets his opportunity to score before the season is up.
