It was Saturday when Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant shifted course from a previous opinion regarding the workload of a goalie, this time stating he wouldn’t be overly concerned should starter Marc Andre-Fleury play 70 games this season.
“I don’t think that’s going to happen, but I don’t see it being a big deal,” said Gallant. “Guys come to play … As I have told you a number of times, it doesn’t mean we don’t have any confidence in (Malcolm) Subban.”
Twenty-four hours later, the Knights handed their backup his first home start of the season, and the part about confidence probably grew even more.
