Subban only faced one minute of action in the Chicago net this season after being acquired at the deadline from the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/vegas-golden-knights\/\" target=\"_self\">Vegas Golden Knights<\/a>. The 26-year-old Ontario native started in 19 of his 21 appearances this season. He posted a record of 9-7-3, as well as a .890 save percentage and 3.17 goals-against average.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of his career, Subban has appeared in 63 games with the Golden Knights, Blackhawks, and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/bruins\/\" target=\"_self\">Boston Bruins<\/a>. He&#8217;s compiled a career record of 30-23-7, a .899 save percentage, and 2.97 goals-against average. He was a first-round pick of the Bruins, 24th overall, at the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.<\/p>\n<p>With the news that Chicago will not be re-signing\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/c\/crawfco01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Corey Crawford<\/a><\/strong>, Subban becomes the only goalie on the Chicago roster with meaningful NHL experience. While his numbers don&#8217;t suggest that he&#8217;s capable of being an NHL starter, Subban still has room to grow. It&#8217;s up to general manager\u00a0<strong>Stan Bowman\u00a0<\/strong>to decide if he wants to add an NHL goalie later on in free agency. For now, the Hawks will move forward of an apparent tandem of Subban and\u00a0<strong>Collin Delia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"HgbbB1RETkRqZ3h2lj-n0g\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1262480301\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'HgbbB1RETkRqZ3h2lj-n0g',sig:'u7Zn8Sfp1nsJRovu9V03Ccf1KDyaes7gDd7o06y6pKE=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1262480301',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Free agency is starting to get on a roll this Friday morning.
