Jets D Fleury alert, moving extremities after taken off ice on stretcher after
collision with boards
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) --- Winnipeg Jets defenseman Haydn Fleury was alert and
moving his extremities after he was taken off the ice on a stretcher after a
violent collision with the boards.
Fleury was checked in the chest by Vegas Golden Knights forward Keegan Kolesar
in the first period Tuesday night and his back took the brunt of the hit behind
the net.
Winnipeg's bench emptied onto the ice in a show of support for Fleury as he was
taken in an ambulance to a hospital.
After the game resumed, Winnipeg's Adam Lowry fought Kolesar.
Fleury, a 29-year-old Canadian, is in his second season with the Jets. He
previously played for Tampa Bay, Seattle, Anaheim and Carolina. Fleury has 10
career goals and 44 points.
