Hours before the Golden Knights returned to T-Mobile Arena on Wednesday night and for a few stretches performed more like an expansion team than one running away with the Pacific Division, a certain backup goalie spent time on ice at the team’s practice facility in Summerlin.
Malcolm Subban continues to heal from a hand injury suffered at a morning skate in San Jose on Feb. 8.
He took shots Wednesday, which means he’s closer to returning than not.
Which is good news for Marc-Andre Fleury, because perhaps then Vegas won’t be as hesitant to give its starter a night off.
