Fleury exits early as Knights beat Canucks, 4-1

Malcolm Subban made 21 saves in relief of Marc-Andre Fleury, and the Golden Knights coasted to a 4-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday at T-Mobile Arena.

Jonathan Marchessault scored for the first time since Feb. 23, and Cody Eakin and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare also scored in the first period.

Tomas Tatar added a second-period goal, his second tally with the Golden Knights (47-21-5, 99 points) since being acquired from Detroit at the trade deadline.

But the win was overshadowed by Fleury’s departure after he made seven saves in the first period.

Fleury appeared to take a shot from Vancouver’s Brandon Sutter off his mask midway through the first period but remained in the game.
