Fleury was asked about the incident after the game, and his reply was nothing short of classic.
I asked Marc-Andre Fleury about giving the stick to a fan during the fights and he laughed.

Regardless if the stick was broken or not, it’s a priceless souvenir for any Sharks fan.
This rivalry is likely to remain quite heated, especially after the Golden Knights blew the Sharks out of the water in back-to-back games to start the season. But if it needed a shot in the arm, Fleury’s stunt will probably make for great bulletin board material in San Jose’s locker room.
