Jets' Haydn Fleury Hospitalized After Collision Into Boards

The defenseman remains under overnight observation with further tests pending after leaving the arena alert.

Overview

  • Winnipeg said he was transported by ambulance and was fully alert and moving his extremities upon departure.
  • Fleury was checked by Vegas forward Keegan Kolesar early in the first period, slid hard into the end boards, and was taken off on a stretcher.
  • Head coach Scott Arniel said Fleury will stay in hospital overnight and indicated he may have a broken nose, calling the play a freak accident.
  • Players from both teams gathered as he was treated, the crowd gave a standing ovation, and Jets captain Adam Lowry later fought Kolesar.
  • The 29-year-old missed 17 games earlier this season with a concussion and had returned to the lineup in a depth role.
