Florida's William Lockwood to have a hearing for hit on Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury.
In the Wild's 6-4 win over the Florida Panthers last night, Marc-Andre Fleury was clipped by William Lockwood in the first period. Fleury fell over and Lockwood got a penalty for goaltender interference.
It was a tough night for Lockwood who picked up a goaltender interference penalty after he ran into Fleury in the first period. His next shift, Brandon Duhaime landed a punch in a fight with Lockwood that knocked him out. The Panthers' forward did not return to the game after.
Fleury, 39, finished the period but later removed himself from the game in the second period. The Wild announced today that they have recalled goaltender Jesper Wallstedt from Iowa in case Fleury is hurt long-term.
Although Fleury didn't go on the IR, calling up Wallstedt may be a sign that the veteran goaltender might be out for more than just one game but we will see.
