Fleury laughs off giving away Sharks stick: 'We'll just say it was broken'
by Josh Gold-Smith from on (#4RX61)
Marc-Andre Fleury is one of a kind.
After passing a Sharks player's stick to a fan through the photographer's hole in the glass Friday night in San Jose, the Vegas Golden Knights goaltender played coy when asked about his sneaky, charitable gesture.
"It was broken right? No? We'll just say it was broken," Fleury quipped postgame to The Athletic's Jesse Granger.
Fleury donated the opponent's twig in the aftermath of a third-period melee that resulted in five players receiving 10-minute misconducts.
The veteran's shutout was spoiled shortly before the brouhaha, but the Golden Knights cruised to a 5-1 victory.
