As it stands, Fleury would be fined according to NHL rules under Gary Bettman's new regime, which fines players for individual expression and expression of certain causes.
To honor his wife for Native American Night, Fleury planned to wear a new mask he received from Cole Red-Horse Taylor, an indigenous artist.
Despite the themed night, Gary Bettman says Bill Daly and the NHL Flower cannot wear this helmet or he will be fined. The team was going to be fined initially, but when the team paid the fine, the Wild organization would be fined as well.
A tribute of this magnitude to his children, wife, and family of this stature is incredible in what could be his last season in the NHL.
