Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury has rejoined the club after returning a false positive COVID-19 test, the team announced.
Fleury will start Friday versus the St. Louis Blues, according to David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Vegas placed Fleury on the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list Thursday, one day after he started versus the Minnesota Wild.
The 36-year-old is a strong Vezina Trophy candidate at the midway point of the season, posting a .938 save percentage and 1.73 goals-against average in 17 appearances.
