The game had its fair share of chaos earlier when, behind Fleury's net, a collision occurred that might be linked to his injury.
In the initial frame, things got heated as Will Lockwood knocked Fleury to the ice while he was playing the puck. Teammates rushed to Lockwood's defense, resulting in a bit of a scuffle behind the Wild's net. Despite the physical exchange, Fleury toughed it out and stayed in the game, at least until this later setback.
