Subban was demoted to AHL Cleveland on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Subban's demotion suggests Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) may end up being available for Tuesday's season finale against Carolina. Subban has appeared in just one NHL contest this year -- he surrendered three goals on 35 shots en route to a 3-0 loss to the Hurricanes on April 7.

Subban picked up the loss in his NHL season debut in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Carolina, giving up three goals on 35 shots.

EDGE Analysis

Subban last played in the NHL back during the 2021-22 campaign when he made four appearances for the Sabres. Once Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) or Daniil Tarasov (upper body) is cleared to return, Subban will likely be shipped back to the minors where he is sporting a 3.12 GAA and .901 save percentage in 35 appearances between AHL Cleveland and AHL Springfield.

Subban will guard the road goal Sunday against Carolina, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Subban will make his Columbus debut in the second half of a back-to-back after Jet Greaves played in Saturday's 6-2 win over Philadelphia. The 30-year-old Subban has appeared in 86 career NHL contests, posting a 36-33-9 record with a 3.10 GAA and an .898 save percentage. Carolina ranks eighth in the league this campaign with 3.35 goals per contest.

Subban was summoned from AHL Cleveland on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Subban has an 11-17-4 record, 3.12 GAA and .901 save percentage in 35 AHL outings between his stints with Cleveland and Springfield in 2023-24. Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) has been ruled out for Saturday's home tilt against the Flyers, and Daniil Tarasov (upper body) was injured Thursday versus the Isles, so Subban might end up being needed against Philly. If Tarasov and Merzlikins miss Columbus' next two games, then Subban and Jet Greaves will likely split the Blue Jackets' upcoming back-to-back contests against Philadelphia on Saturday and Carolina on Sunday.

Subban was acquired by the Blue Jackets from St. Louis on Friday in exchange for future considerations.

EDGE Analysis

Subban will report to AHL Cleveland and figures to serve primarily as a reserve option for Columbus before hitting free agency this offseason. The addition of Subban could be an indication that the Jackets are preparing to offload Elvis Merzlikins, who previously submitted a trade request.

Subban was placed on the waiver wire Sunday, per Chris Johnston of TSN.

EDGE Analysis

Subban posted a 20-14-5 record with a 2.94 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 39 games with AHL Rochester last season. Assuming he isn't claimed, the 29-year-old netminder will report to AHL Springfield. As expected, Joel Hofer will enter the 2023-24 campaign as the Blues' backup goalie behind Jordan Binnington.

Subban signed a one-year, two-way contract with St. Louis on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Subban went 20-14-5 with a 2.94 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 39 regular-season appearances with AHL Rochester last season. He also posted a mark of 8-6 with a 2.56 GAA and a .916 save percentage during the 2023 Calder Cup Playoffs. Subban will probably spend most, if not all of the 2023-24 campaign in the minors.

Subban (lower body) was a full practice participant with AHL Rochester on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Subban's return to health will clear the way for him to serve as an emergency depth option should his services be needed in Buffalo. Until then, the veteran netminder will ply his trade in the minors with the Amerks.

Subban is expected to be sidelined for 3-4 weeks with a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Subban likely would have been the netminder the Sabres would have turned to if Craig Anderson or Eric Comrie went down with an injury at some point during the first month of the season, but that obviously will no longer be the case due to this injury, making Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen the next man in line for a potential call-up.

Subban was placed on waivers Sunday for the purpose of assignment to AHL Rochester, per Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News.

EDGE Analysis

If he clears waivers, Subban will open the season third on Buffalo's goaltending depth chart behind Craig Anderson and Eric Comrie. Subban was 0-2-1 with an .871 save percentage in four appearances with the Sabres last season.
