The Vegas Golden Knights<\/a> have announced that star goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury<\/a><\/strong> will be out day-to-day with a lower-body injury. In turn, the club has recalled goaltender Maxime Lagace<\/a><\/strong> from the AHL Chicago Wolves.<\/p>\n

It’s uncertain when the injury occurred for Fleury, as he played on Friday night and made 40 saves for a 2-1 win over the Dallas Stars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 59 appearances this season, Fleury holds a record of 35-19-5. He has a 2.46 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage with eight shutouts. He is currently on a six-game win streak, which has helped the Golden Knights build a five-point lead on the Arizona Coyotes<\/a> for third in the Pacific.<\/p>\n

Over his career, Fleury has a record of 439-248-2-75 (two ties before the NHL brought in the shootout.) He has a career goals-against average of 2.55 and a save percentage of .913 with 56 shutouts.<\/p>\n

Fleury was originally drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> in the first round, first overall in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.<\/p>\n

He was acquired by the Vegas Golden Knights in the expansion.<\/p>\n

What This Means for the Future<\/h2>\n

The injury to Fleury couldn’t have come at a worse time as the team tries to stay ahead of the Arizona Coyotes in the standings. However, Fleury is only listed as day-to-day and Lagace was listed as an emergency recall, so the injury doesn’t figure to be too serious.<\/p>\n

It should also be mentioned that Fleury is expecting the arrival of his third child. There is a chance that Fleury would have been away from the team for a game or two regardless. Hopefully for the sake of the Golden Knights, Fleury is not out much longer than that.<\/p>\n

With Fleury out, Malcolm Subban<\/a><\/strong> will take over the brunt of the workload until he returns. In 12 appearances this season, Subban has a record of 4-7 with a goals-against average of 3.13 and a save percentage of .902.<\/p>\n

Subban will go to work Sunday night as the Golden Knights play host to Connor McDavid<\/a><\/strong> and the Edmonton Oilers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
