The postseason is right around the corner and the Vegas Golden Knights will be playing playoff in their first season as a franchise.

Unfortunately, they might be heading into the postseason with a big name player injured. Tuesday night, Marc-Andre Fleury left Vegas' game against the Canucks and on Wednesday, head coach Gerard Gallant didn't offer much of an update.

Gallant confirmed Fleury is injured but he wouldn't give any more detail. Literally said, "no" when asked if he can expand on the specifics.

Gallant confirms Fleury is injured, but says he won’t go further into it.

“Once we get an X beside our name, we won’t say anything about injuries.”

It's only a matter of time now before the Golden Knights clinch a playoff spot and once the playoffs start, as we've seen in the past, info on injuries is hard to come by to say the least.

In fact, most teams air out their laundry list of injuries after they've been eliminated. Hopefully Fleury can make a return before the regular season is over, but if you want any information about his injury, good luck getting that.
