Malcolm-Jamaal Justin Subban (born December 21, 1993) is a Canadian ice hockey goaltender. He currently plays in the American Hockey League with the Providence Bruins as a prospect of the Boston Bruins in the National Hockey League (NHL). Subban was selected by the Boston Bruins in the first round (24th overall) of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. He played junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League with the Belleville Bulls. His older brother, P. K. Subban is a defenceman with the Nashville Predators. His younger brother Jordan is a prospect for the Vancouver Canucks.

Playing career

Amateur

Subban made his Ontario Hockey League (OHL) debut with the Belleville Bulls during the 2009–10 season, appearing in a single game with the club.[1] The next season, Subban spent the entire season with the Bulls, appearing in 32 games and recording 10 wins.[1] Heading into the 2011–12 OHL season, Subban was a highly ranked prospect for the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, and finished the season as the number one ranked goaltender in North America.[2] The Boston Bruins made Subban the 24th overall pick of the 2012 draft.[3] He signed a three-year contract with the club just prior to the 2012–13 NHL lockout.[4] With the NHL shutdown, Subban returned to the Bulls for another season in the OHL, recording 29 wins in 46 games.[1]

Professional

Subban attended his first NHL training camp with the Boston Bruins ahead of the 2013–14 season. He was cut shortly after appearing in a preseason game where he allowed 8 goals to the Detroit Red Wings, and assigned to Boston's American Hockey League affiliate in Providence.[5] However, during the same preseason schedule, Malcolm had his very first opportunity to face his feisty defenseman brother P. K. Subban on the Habs squad on September 16, 2013, in a preseason match between the Bruins and Canadiens at Montreal's Bell Centre — Malcolm replaced Bruins rookie goaltender Chad Johnson at about 14 minutes into the game's second period, and managed to stop every single shot in the 31:49 he played in-net, en route to a 6–3 defeat of the Canadiens.[6]

During the 2014–15 Boston Bruins season, due to the Boston team's backup goaltender Niklas Svedberg needing conditioning play with the parent team's AHL affiliate, Malcolm Subban received his first-ever NHL callup to back up Tuukka Rask on January 30, 2015.[7]

On February 20, 2015, Subban made his NHL debut against the St. Louis Blues. He was replaced by Tuukka Rask in the second period after giving up 3 goals on 3 shots, but returned later in the game.

On February 6, 2016, he was hospitalized after taking a puck to the throat during pre-game warmups. The organization announced Subban will miss at least 8 weeks due to this injury.

International play

He was goaltender for Team Canada in the 2013 World Junior Championships in Ufa, Russia.[8] He appeared in six games, with four wins. Canada finished in fourth place at the tournament.[9]

Personal life

His older brother, winner of the 2013 Norris Trophy, P. K. Subban, currently plays in the NHL with the Nashville Predators. Malcolm also has a younger brother, Jordan, who plays as a defenceman with the Utica Comets and was drafted 115th overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.[10] His father, Karl, is the fifth leading scorer in Lakehead University basketball history. An older sister, Natassia, played basketball at York University, ending her university career as the all-time leading scorer in Ontario University Athletics.[2]
