Fleury came across his former teammates' sweaters hanging in their stalls and couldn't help himself. He grabbed some stick tape and taped the insides of their sleeves shut. Thankfully, the Golden Knights' social media manager was there to capture it all:

Malkin had to mess with Fleury himself, of course:

Laugh it off and give a nice face palm with his hockey glove...
