Vegas goalie Marc-Andre Fleury tickles Jets player's ear

LAS VEGAS -- Marc-Andre Fleury gave Blake Wheeler quite an earful.

During a scrum behind Vegas' net with 2:34 left in the second period of the Golden Knights' 4-2 victory over Winnipeg on Wednesday night, Fleury reached over with his left hand and tickled the left ear of the Jets' unsuspecting Wheeler.

"I did that?" said a playful Fleury, who also made 33 saves in the win. "There's cameras everywhere."

There sure are -- and video of the ear tickle quickly became a big hit on social media.

"I was just sitting there, and people, they were fighting," Fleury said.
