The Vegas Golden Knights have recalled Oscar Dansk on an emergency basis as reported by Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.
This comes after Marc-Andre Fleury was forced to leave Tuesday’s game against the Vancouver Canucks after taking a shot from Brandon Sutter off the mask. The 33-year-old is considered day-to-day and will remain in Vegas according to head coach Gerrard Gallant.
Coach Gallant addresses media:
is not traveling with the team to San Jose today, but there’s a chance he will join the team later in the trip

Fleury missed 25 games at the beginning of the season with a concussion but there is no indication of the severity of the injury.
Malcolm Subban is expected to take over as the starter. He has an 11-3-1 record in 17 games this season posting a 2.55 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage.
In four games this season with the Golden Knights, Dansk has a 3-0 record with a 1.78 GAA and a .946 save percentage. In 11 games in the AHL, the 24-year-old has an 8-1-2 record with a 2.59 GAA and a .916 save percentage.
Vegas play its next two games on the road against the San Jose Sharks and the Colorado Avalanche then return home to play the Avalanche.
