Overview
- Head coach Scott Arniel said Fleury sustained a broken nose and a bruised back after Tuesday’s first-period crash into the end boards.
- The injury followed contact from Vegas forward Keegan Kolesar that sent Fleury sliding back-first into the wall, and no penalty was called.
- The Jets placed Fleury on injured reserve retroactive to Jan. 6 and recalled forward Danil Zhilkin from AHL Manitoba.
- The team said Fleury was alert and moving his extremities as he departed for hospital care after leaving the ice on a stretcher.
- No timetable for return has been provided as the team continues to evaluate him for a potential concussion.
