Fleury gets emotional win after father’s death

Marc-Andre Fleury returned to the Golden Knights' lineup on Tuesday night for the first time since the death of his father, and he led the Golden Knights to an emotional 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Tuesday's game was Fleury's first start since Nov. 23. He took a leave from the team following the death of his father Andre on Nov. 27, and returned to practices with the team last Thursday.

Fleury made 28 saves on 29 shots on Tuesday, holding the Blackhawks scoreless until there were just 27 seconds remaining in the third period.
