During today's nine NHL matchups, Marc-Andre Fleury is about to become the fourth goalie to ever suit up in 1,000 games when the Minnesota Wild face off against the Winnipeg Jets this afternoon.

Besides that historic contest, there are plenty of other hockey games to keep NHL fans entertained to celebrate the end of 2023 as everyone waits for the Winter Classic on New Year's Day on Monday.
