Chants of “Suuub!” filled the arena as Malcolm Subban triumphantly rose to his feet.
He had been knocked down — but not out. All that was left to do was to stage a heroic comeback surrounded by his teammates, only this time the Golden Knights backup goaltender’s pads and stick were absent.

Subban and teammates William Karlsson and Alex Tuch faced off in a different competition Tuesday when they visited the HyperX Esports Arena at the Luxor to play the massively popular game Fortnite “Battle Royale” with fans for about an hour.
