Marc-Andre Fleury can find the positive in just about any situation.
Starting this season, Fleury and his fellow NHL goaltenders will be wearing narrower chest and arm protectors. The changes were made, in part, with goal scoring — not puck stopping — in mind.
But the Golden Knights netminder sees at least one advantage.
“Everything moves better. I can comb my hair back, right?” Fleury said as he ran his fingers through his dark brown locks.
The new regulations governing the chest and arm protectors are the latest in a series of moves by the league designed to shrink goaltenders’ equipment.
