The Golden Knights recalled goaltender Garret Sparks from the American Hockey League’s Chicago Wolves on “an emergency basis” Friday.

The reason for Sparks’ call-up is unknown.

Starting goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, who has played in 13 of the Knights’ first 14 games, didn’t practice Friday. Coach Gerard Gallant said Fleury was given a maintenance day.

Backup Malcolm Subban practiced Friday. He hasn’t appeared in a game since Oct. 10, but was the Knights’ backup Thursday against the Montreal Canadiens.
