Subban made 21 saves against his former team for his first NHL win, and
Alex Tuch
and
Vadim Shipachyov
each scored his first goal in the League to power the Golden Knights to a 3-1 victory against the Boston Bruins at T-Mobile Arena on Sunday.
"It's a great feeling," Subban said. "I made a lot of friends [in Boston], played with a lot of great teammates and (had) a great coaching staff. I'm just happy to get the win."
Shipachyov, making his NHL debut after nine seasons in the Kontinental Hockey League, scored to give Vegas a 2-0 lead with 2:14 left in the second period.
Tuch, who was acquired in a trade from the Minnesota Wild at the NHL Expansion Draft on June 21, made it 1-0 at 14:38 of the second.
It was the first game with the Golden Knights (4-1-0) for Subban and Tuch. Subban, claimed off waivers from Boston on Oct. 3, played two games for the Bruins after they selected him in the first round (No. 24) of the 2012 NHL Draft. Tuch played six games for the Wild last season.
David Pastrnak scored with 30 seconds remaining to spoil Subban's shutout bid and get Boston to within 2-1, but Vegas forward Oscar Lindberg's empty-net goal with 14 seconds left made it 3-1.
Tuukka Rask made 23 saves for the Bruins (2-3-0), who went 1-2-0 on a three-game road trip. Boston defeated the Arizona Coyotes 6-2 on Saturday.
Subban, 23, started after Vegas placed No. 1 goalie Marc-Andre Fleury on injured reserve with a concussion earlier in the day. Fleury was injured when he was hit in the head by Detroit Red Wings forward Anthony Mantha's knee in a 6-3 loss Friday.
"We know Malcolm well," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said. "He's a good first-shot goaltender for the most part. We wanted to put some stress on him and make him uncomfortable on those second ones, and I don't think we did a good job on that."
Shipachyov was recalled from Chicago of the American Hockey League on Saturday. The 30-year-old center took the place of forward Erik Haula, who was placed on IR with a lower-body injury.
Tuch, who had an assist on the Shipachyov goal, was recalled from Chicago on Sunday, along with goalie Maxime Lagace. The 21-year-old replaced forward Jonathan Marchessault in the lineup. Marchessault went on IR with a lower-body injury.
"I'm just trying to prove myself," Tuch said. "It was a little speed bump in the road (getting assigned to Chicago), but I've become stronger because of it."
