Subban was waived Sunday, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Blackhawks designated fellow netminder Collin Delia for waivers Sunday, as well, and it seems likely that one of the two could get claimed by another organization before the team is able to assign them to AHL Rockford. Subban would probably be the likeliest candidate given his 82 games of NHL experience (including 14 starts last year).

Subban will guard the road cage during Saturday's preseason matchup with St. Louis, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Subban is expected to play all three periods versus the Blues on Saturday. The 27-year-old netminder is behind Marc-Andre Fleury and Kevin Lankinen on the Blackhawks' depth chart, so he'll likely begin the 2021-22 campaign in the minors.

Subban stopped 14 of 18 shots before being replaced by Collin Delia midway through the second period of Monday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old came out flat and dug a 4-0 hole for Chicago before the game was half over, forcing the goaltending change. Subban has coughed up eight goals in less than four periods of work over his last two appearances, and on the season he carries a 3.20 GAA and .900 save percentage.

Subban will man the road crease Monday in Carolina, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Subban will look for a return to form after allowing seven goals in five periods over his last two outings. Getting back on track won't be easy against the 11th-ranked Hurricanes offense (3.18 goals per game).

Despite a previous report that suggested otherwise, Subban won't get the start in goal in Saturday's game versus Florida, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kevin Lankinen will guard the home cage against the Panthers on Saturday. Subban will have to wait for Monday's matchup with Carolina for his next potential opportunity to start between the pipes.

Subban is on track to start between the pipes in Saturday's home game versus the Panthers, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Subban has struggled recently, suffering back-to-back losses to the Predators and the Lightning while posting an ugly 4.33 GAA and .851 save percentage. He'll try to get back on track in a tough home matchup with a Florida team that's won three of its last four games.

Subban stopped 15 of 19 shots in relief of Kevin Lankinen in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Subban played the final two periods, and the Blackhawks' offense covered Lankinen's damage. The 27-year-old Subban took the loss, which dropped him to 6-7-1 with a 3.03 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 15 contests. He's appeared in the last five contests (three starts, two relief outings). The Blackhawks' schedule remains tough with a two-game set versus the Panthers on Thursday and Saturday.

Subban gave up three goals on 28 shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Subban kept the game scoreless through the first period, but the Predators beat him twice in the second and Erik Haula added a goal from a tight angle in the third as insurance. The 27-year-old goalie dropped to 6-6-1 with a 2.88 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 14 games. The Blackhawks are off until Tuesday versus the Lightning -- a starting goalie for that contest has yet to be named.

Subban will defend the blue paint during Friday's home game versus Nashville, Chris Boden of 720 WGN Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Subban was solid in his last start Wednesday against the Predators, stopping 36 of 40 shots en route to a much-needed 5-4 overtime victory. The 27-year-old netminder will attempt to secure a second straight win in a rematch with the same Nasvhille squad Friday.

Subban turned aside 36 of 40 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Things were looking bleak for Subban and the Blackhawks, who trailed 4-1 midway through the third period. But a three-goal outburst in a span of less than two minutes sent the game into overtime, and Brandon Hagel delivered the winner in extra session to give Subban his second victory in as many starts. With No. 1 starter Kevin Lankinen scuffling as of late, Subban has the opportunity to grab a greater share of the workload the rest of the way. He's provided a .948 save percentage three April appearances.
