Golden Knights activate Subban from injured reserve
Finally, some positive news on the goaltending front for the Vegas Golden Knights, as the club has activated netminder Malcolm Subban from the injured reserve.
Subban had missed 11 games with a lower-body injury.
In a subsequent move, the Golden Knights assigned 19-year-old Dylan Ferguson to the WHL's Kamloops Blazers. Ferguson played nine minutes Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers following an injury to starter Maxime Lagace.
Lagace returned for Thursday's 5-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks.
As for Subban, he returns to the crease after appearing in just three games with Vegas, who claimed him off waivers from the Boston Bruins last month. Subban has two wins and a .936 save percentage since joining Vegas.
The Golden Knights' next game is Sunday against the Los Angeles Kings, and Subban is a good bet to get the call between the pipes.
While Subban has returned from injury, the team is still waiting on a clean bill of health for goaltenders Marc-Andre Fleury and Oscar Dansk. Dansk left an Oct. 30 contest against the New York Islanders with a lower-body injury, while Fleury hasn't played since Oct. 13 after suffering a concussion.
The Golden Knights sit second place in the Pacific Division with an 11-6-1 record through 18 games.
