Fleury Penalized During Weird Play Against the Anaheim Ducks
An awkward play in the Minnesota Wild game versus the Anaheim Ducks occurred last night between Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury and Frank Vatrano. During the play, Vatrano was skating full steam ahead to the corner past Fleury, and skated too close to the goaltender, taking his stick to the face.
The incident, clearly Vatrano's fault, led to a penalty on Fleury, which had people raising their eyebrows on what he was supposed to do.
Fleury Flourishing in Final Stretch of the Season for the Wild
Fleury has really found his game over the past few starts and recorded a shutout against the Ducks to continue that success. He is helping the Wild remain competitive this season as they struggle to compete for a playoff spot down the stretch.
The crazy play though is certainly one that Fleury will have his questions about in the future I am sure!
