Haydn Fleury News

Fleury has shuffled in and out of the Hurricanes lineup this season but has been a healthy scratch for the last five games. He will replace Trevor van Riemsdyk on the third pair with Jake Gardiner. Fleury has two goals and two assists (four points) in 19 games this season.

Fleury was the seventh defenseman in their last game but Brian Gibbons was recalled from Charlotte (AHL) and will suit up as a 12th forward on Saturday. Fleury’s usage will likely be limited now that Trevor van Riemsdyk is healthy.

Fleury split the 2019 campaign between the AHL and NHL but is set to become a full-time NHLer in 2020. Fleury had just one assist in 20 NHL games a year ago but brings great size (6-foot-3, 208 lbs.) and excellent skating ability to the Hurricanes bottom-4.

Fleury will re-enter the Hurricanes lineup on Tuesday with Calvin de Haan back in Carolina undergoing further evaluation on an upper-body injury that he suffered on Sunday. Fleury has one assist in 17 NHL games and 10 points (2G / 8A) in 28 AHL games this season.

The Hurricanes start a five-game road-trip in Pittsburgh on Tuesday so Fleury has been recalled to serve as an extra defenseman. Fleury has one assist in 12 games with the Hurricanes and four points (1G / 3A) in 15 AHL games.

Fleury was called up on Thursday but sent down on Friday. No explanation on why he was originally called-up was given.

Fleury has missed the last nine games with a concussion but is set to return to play but that will come in Charlotte. The 22-year-old has one assist in 10 games with the Hurricanes and one assist in four games with Charlotte.

Fleury re-entered the lineup on Sunday but will serve as a healthy scratch tonight with Brett Pesce playing for the first time since November 10th.

Fleury has missed the last three games with a concussion but is expected to return to the lineup in Los Angeles on Sunday. Fleury has just one assist in eight games this season.

Fleury made his season debut last Saturday but was a healthy scratch on Thursday. Tonight he will replace Trevor van Riemsdyk and is expected to skate alongside Dougie Hamilton.

Fleury spent most of his time with the Hurricanes last year, picking up eight assists in 67 games. The former No.7 overall pick has posted strong offensive numbers at lower-levels but will be limited in Carolina because of their depth on the blueline.

Fleury was a healthy scratch for the last two games but he will replace Klas Dahlbeck in the second game of a back-to-back tonight vs. the Bruins. Fleury, who put up decent offensive numbers in the WHL and AHL certainly hasn’t done so at the NHL level yet. In his first 54 career games (all this season) the 21-year-old has just six assists.
