He has also been a standout for the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League (AHL) in that time, helping the Bears reach the Calder Cup finals both years and win the Calder Cup in 2006. Fleischmann has led Hershey in playoff scoring and led the AHL in playoff assists the past two seasons. He has 114 points (52 goals, 62 assists) in 102 regular-season AHL games in two years with the Bears.”
“A 6′1″, 192-pound native of Koprivnice, Czech Republic, Fleischmann played all seven games for the Capitals in the preseason, finishing fifth on the team with four points (one goal, three assists). He posted a +1 rating and 13 shots on goal.”
