Unlike his big brother, NHL defenseman P.K., Malcolm Subban opted to be a goalie. The Toronto native was selected by the Boston Bruins in the first round (No. 24) of the 2012 NHL Draft and turned pro in 2013, spending the first of four seasons with Providence of the American Hockey League. He was 56-45-19 with a .918 save percentage in 127 AHL games with Providence. Subban made two appearances with Boston, one in 2014-15 and one in 2016-17, but lost each.

The Bruins tried to get Subban through waivers before the 2017-18 season, but the Vegas Golden Knights claimed him with the idea that he would back up starter Marc-Andre Fleury. That changed when Fleury went down with a concussion on Oct. 13, 2017. Subban earned his first NHL win two nights later, allowing one goal on 22 shots against the Bruins.

Despite missing a month with a lower-body injury, Subban won 11 of his first 13 decisions. That included a 4-3 shootout win against P.K. and the Predators in Nashville on Dec. 8, 2017. Malcolm made 41 saves and did not allow a goal on six shots in the tiebreaker, stopping P.K. in the shootout. It was the first time the brothers faced each other in an organized hockey game.

Subban went 13-4-2 with a 2.68 goals-against average and .910 save percentage in 2017-18 and was a big reason the Golden Knights set numerous NHL records for first-year teams. He played 41 games for Vegas the next two seasons before being traded to the Chicago Blackhawks on Feb. 24, 2020.
