Minnesota Wild goalie Marc-Andre Fleury is expected to miss at least one game with an upper-body injury, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported on Hockey Night in Canada's Saturday Headlines.
Fleury sustained the injury on Friday when he was run into by Florida Panthers forward William Lockwood behind the net. Taking exception to the collision, teammate Brandon Duhaime exchanged blows with Lockwood after the play.
Lockwood was suspended three games for the hit.
"Fleury will not play tomorrow, but he remains on the Wild's road trip," Friedman said. "The hope is maybe only a game or two, but thankfully it doesn't look to be anything more serious than that."
The 39-year-old Fleury hit a major career milestone on Monday, passing Patrick Roy for second on the NHL's all-time wins list with 552. He has a 2.95 goals-against average and .897 save percentage in 23 games this season.
