VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Malcolm Subban said he’s “pretty close” to returning to the Golden Knights’ lineup.
Coach Gerard Gallant said the injured goaltender looked good Wednesday during the team’s practice at Rogers Arena.
That means Subban is starting in net Thursday when the Knights (10-6-1) take on the Vancouver Canucks, right?
“He’s getting closer,” Gallant said, pumping the brakes on an early return. “He feels a lot better and he’s getting comfortable, but he’s still on the (injured-reserve list) and we’re going to wait and make sure.”
Subban practiced Wednesday for the first time since he was placed on injured reserve after suffering a lower-body injury Oct.
