Marc-Andre Fleury goes all out in pranking Sidney Crosby for the final time

Both the Wild and Penguins landed in the same hotel in Raleigh, North Carolina on Saturday, and Fleury's target? None other than longtime buddy Crosby.

Fair play to Crosby and the Penguins for drawing first blood, slipping into Fleury's room while he was on the ice, and rearranging a few things for the prankster's benefit. But they may have underestimated the payback at the hands of Fleury.

"I just had a little fun,' said Fleury as per The Athletic before quickly correcting himself. 'Wait! I've said too much. It wasn't me. I wasn't there."

When Crosby arrived to play the Hurricanes on Sunday night, he found his equipment had been playfully tampered with: His visor was smeared with Vaseline, his jock strap stuffed with beef sticks and his skate laces flipped upside down.

It would appear Fleury tracked down Crosby's equipment bag, well aware his friend was behind the earlier prank, and made sure to return the favor.

This may be Fleury's last chance to prank Crosby while both are active players, but retirement likely won't end Fleury's pranking career. Knowing his playful spirit, he is probably just getting started in finding new ways to keep his friends on their toes.
