Goaltender Malcolm Subban was claimed off waivers by the Golden Knights, Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said Tuesday.

The Bruins waited until Monday to waive the 23-year-old, with most teams already set in goal, hoping to sneak him to their Providence affiliate, but the former first-round pick was claimed by Golden Knights general manager George McPhee.

"I had my fingers crossed that it wasn't gonna happen," Sweeney said, according to the Boston Herald.
