The Buffalo Sabres have finally found some much-needed short-term assistance in net, as the team has acquired goaltender Malcolm Subban from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for “future considerations.”
Subban, 27, has been playing with the AHL’s Rockford IceHogs this season. In five games, he has accrued a .893 save percentage and 3.38 GAA. He joined the Chicago organization several years ago, after three seasons with the Vegas Golden Knights.
Subban was originally drafted by the Boston Bruins in 2012 (24th overall) and appeared in two games with Boston, largely playing in Providence during his time with that organization.
