For the Pittsburgh Penguins, their second preseason matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets carries extra meaning. For fans, it marks the last chance to see franchise legend Marc-André Fleury suit up in the iconic black and gold.
With Fleury set to take the crease for the last time in his career and in a Penguins uniform, fans will finally get the farewell they missed back in 2017. So let’s take a look at where the fans can catch the game.
When Can the Penguins Fans Say Their Final Goodbye to Marc-André Fleury?
Since joining Pittsburgh in 2003, Fleury grew into a franchise cornerstone, backstopping the Penguins to three Stanley Cups during their era of dominance. But fans never got the chance to give him a proper sendoff after he was claimed by Vegas in the expansion draft.
After Fleury announced his retirement following last season with the Wild, many assumed his NHL journey had ended in Minnesota. But earlier this month, the goaltender signed a one-game PTO with Pittsburgh.
As such, Fleury will play one period in the preseason game against the Columbus Blue Jackets at PPG Paints Arena on Saturday, Sept. 27, 7 p.m. ET.
Where Can Fans Watch or Stream Fleury’s Farewell Game?
Fans in Pittsburgh can watch the game on Sportsnet Pittsburgh (SN-PIT), the Penguins’ local broadcast partner. Those within the Pittsburgh market can also stream the matchup through the SNP 360 app on mobile devices.

Fans outside the Pittsburgh market can also stream the game live on the NHL Network or through live TV services like DirecTV Stream and Fubo, both of which include SN-PIT in their packages. NHL Center Ice will also carry the matchup against the Blue Jackets on Wednesday.
Where Can Pittsburgh Fans Get Their Tickets for the Preseason Game?
Fans can purchase tickets for single games, group packages, or ticket bundles through the Blue Jackets’ website. The team’s official partners also sell tickets.
Ticketmaster is the NHL’s official ticket marketplace, and tickets will be available for every game, including the preseason games.
Fans can also purchase tickets from other official partners, such as StubHub and Gametime. With the fans excited to see Fleury in action, the Nationwide Arena is expected to have a full audience on September 27, 2025.
