UPDATE: Fleury leaves after second period

Marc- Andre Fleury left Tuesday’s contest with the Canadiens with an undisclosed injury.

Montreal forward Brian Gionta pushed Tyler Kennedy into Fleury late in the second period. He was in position to cover the puck and was hit near the head. The immediate concern with the hit to the head is obviously a concussion. The 28-year-old netminder was able to finish the second period, but did not return for the third.

“Fleury will continue to be evaluated. More later after he gets evaluated.” said Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma after the game.

Tomas Vokoun came into the game in the third period. He stopped all 12 shots the he faced, preserving the shutout for the injured Fleury. If Fleury is seriously hurt and misses significant time, Vokoun will recieve a large boost in fantasy value. Vokoun is 8-3-0 with a 2.80 GAA and .907 SV% this season.

UPDATE: Fleury still being evaluated, not ruled out to backup Thursday night, per coach Bylsma. It sounds like Fleury is dealing with a sore neck and not a concussion.
