The Golden Knights will be without their best player for at least a week as goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury was put on the injured reserve list with a concussion.
Fleury was injured during the second period of the Knights’ 6-3 loss to Detroit Friday at T-Mobile Arena after he took a knee to the head from Red Wings forward Anthony Mantha following a collision in Fleury’s crease. He remained in the game as his status at the time was not deemed severe enough to leave the game by the NHL’s concussion medical personnel, which monitors all games.
“I think he wasn’t the same after he got hit,” forward David Perron said of Fleury prior to Sunday’s game.
