Prime Video’s Season 1 of “Faceoff: Inside the NHL” was a success, and they have elected to bring it back for a second season, which will feature former Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.
Season 1 featured Golden Knights center Jack Eichel, coming off a Stanley Cup win. It showed him dealing with the highs and lows of an NHL season, welcoming a long-time friend in Noah Hanifin and the unfortunate circumstances of losing in the playoffs.
Fleury’s experience in the show will likely be quite different. This NHL season was Fleury’s final campaign, retiring after playing 21 seasons in the NHL. His long career saw him win three Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins, a Vezina Trophy, a Jennings Trophy and an Olympic Gold Medal after being selected first overall in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.
The 40-year-old joined the Golden Knights in the expansion draft, leading them to the Stanley Cup in the organization’s first season. They lost to the Washington Capitals in the finals, but Fleury was the driving force throughout the season.
His time in Vegas took a turn when he lost his starting job under head coach Pete DeBoer. His agent posted a picture with a sword going through Fleury’s back, and he was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks in the offseason.

The show won’t feature any of that but will highlight how beloved Fleury was around the NHL, receiving applause from fans and players lining up to shake his hand as he approached his last handful of games. Throughout his career, the Sorel-Tracy, QC native was known for being a joyous teammate, routinely pranking teammates to keep spirits high.
