Subban (lower body) is slated to start against either Minnesota or Pittsburgh on Thursday or Friday, respectively, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Subban was shelled in his only outing this season to the tune of six goals allowed on 25 shots to the Hurricanes. Subban's return to action will likely see both Dustin Tokarski (COVID-19 protocols) and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen reassigned to the minors while Subban splits the workload with Aaron Dell.

Subban (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Subban has already missed enough time to be eligible for activation at any time going forward. He's expected to return to practice soon, but it's unclear how much time he'll need before he can get back in a game.

Subban (lower body) won't play Saturday versus the Capitals but should be a full participant in the Sabres' next practice, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will start Saturday's contest. Subban has been out since he was hurt in last Saturday's loss to the Hurricanes, but his impending return to practice is a step in the right direction.

Head coach Don Granato said Subban (lower body) practiced Friday and may be available to play Saturday against Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Subban suffered the injury against Carolina on Dec. 4, when he allowed six goals on 25 shots in his 2021 debut. It's unclear where the 27-year-old currently stands on Buffalo's goalie depth chart, but he'll certainly need to improve upon his debut if he's to get substantial playing time.

Subban (lower body) won't be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Anaheim, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Subban exited his Sabres debut Saturday versus Carolina in the third period after suffering a lower-body injury. Buffalo has yet to release an expected timetable for Subban's return, but for now, Aaron Dell and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will shoulder the load in goal for the Sabres.

Subban (lower body) left Saturday's game versus the Hurricanes. He was injured in the third period.
EDGE Analysis
Subban allowed six goals on 25 shots in his Sabres debut, which was cut short midway through the final frame. With the injury, Subban is the third Sabres goalie that is dealing with injury or illness, joining Craig Anderson (upper body) and Dustin Tokarski (COVID-19 protocols). Aaron Dell replaced Subban in the game and would likely take over as the short-term No. 1 goalie if Subban's injury forces him to miss time.

Subban will protect the road goal Saturday versus the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Subban will make his Sabres debut after he was traded from the Blackhawks on Thursday. With Dustin Tokarski (COVID-19 protocols) and Craig Anderson (upper body) both unavailable, Subban could have a chance to earning a starting role. That said, the Hurricanes are a tough matchup for any goalie, so the 27-year-old shouldn't be expected to make an instant impact with his new team.

The Sabres recalled Subban from AHL Rochester on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Buffalo had already announced Subban, whom they traded for Thursday, would join the team for Saturday's game in Carolina. The 27-year-old hasn't played in the NHL this season but logged 16 games in 2020 with Chicago, where he posted a 3.20 GAA and .900 save percentage.

Subban will meet the Sabres for Saturday's game in Carolina, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Sabres' goalie situation is currently in flux with Dustin Tokarski in COVID-19 protocols and Subban on the way. The 27-year-old could start Saturday's game if Tokarski is still unavailable, but it's unclear how the team will handle its netminders once everyone is healthy.

Subban was traded from the Blackhawks to the Sabres in exchange for future considerations Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Subban has yet to appear in an NHL contest this season, but he's drawn into five games with AHL Rockford, going 2-2-1 while posting a sub-par 3.38 GAA and .893 save percentage. At this point it isn't clear what kind of role he'll have with Buffalo, but he could get a chance to compete for the backup spot behind Dustin Tokarski.
