Jets defenseman Haydn Fleury taken off ice on stretcher after violent collision with the boards.
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Winnipeg Jets defenseman Haydn Fleury 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 away for further medical evaluation.
The 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.
