The Vegas Golden Knights<\/a>\u00a0have been one of the NHL’s biggest surprises this season. Things are also about to get better. The team has been without franchise goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury<\/strong><\/a> since October 13th, when he suffered a concussion<\/a> in a game against the Detroit Red Wings<\/a>. The Golden Knights have gone 16-8-1 in Fleury’s absence\u00a0and are fighting for top spot in the NHL Pacific Division.<\/p>\n

\nGuess who’s back, guess who’s back, guess who’s back…<\/p>\n

Marc-Andre Fleury Activated from IR<\/h1>\n

Fleury has been great in his limited action\u00a0for the Golden Knights this season. In four games for the team, he went 3-0-0 with a .925 save percentage and a 2.48 goals-against-average. While the Knights managed to keep themselves in the hunt without Fleury it has not been easy. They also had issues with goaltenders Malcolm Subban<\/strong><\/a>, and Oscar Dansk<\/strong><\/a>, also spending time on the injured reserve list.<\/p>\n

Subban is also healthy, having recently returned to the Knights line-up. Vegas now has their top two goalies both healthy and on the active roster, and breathe\u00a0a sigh of relief at that news. Subban is 7-2-0 this season, with a 2.33 goals-against-average and .924 save percentage.<\/p>\n

Maxime Lagace<\/a><\/strong> went 6-6-1 in his time with the Knights, with a 3.72 goals-against-average and an .872 save percentage. He returns to the Chicago Wolves of the AHL in order to make room on the roster for Fleury.<\/p>\n

Fleury could be between the pipes in the Golden Knights next game. They play the Carolina Hurricanes<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
