Golden Knights starting goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury has a new backup for Game 3 of the Western Conference Final.
Maxime Lagace will serve as Fleury’s understudy against the Winnipeg Jets at T-Mobile Arena after regular backup Malcolm Subban was not on the ice at Wednesday’s morning skate at City National Arena. Coach Gerard Gallant would not disclose why Subban was not available nor would he say whether or not Subban was hurt or ill.
“Subban’s day-to-day,” Gallant said. “Undisclosed.”
Lagace played 16 games with the Knights this season, splitting time with the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League.
