The Vegas Golden Knights are off to a record start despite an injury to their starting goaltender, and now they may have another significant one to overcome.
Malcolm Subban will have an MRI on Sunday, but a team source told Sportsnet's John Shannon that the netminder is "probably out weeks" with the injury he sustained in Saturday's win over the St. Louis Blues.
Subban left the game after falling to the ice in pain following a shot by Blues forward Jaden Schwartz in the third period.

Oscar Dansk came on in relief of Subban and stopped 10 of the 11 shots he faced in his NHL debut.
Subban had replaced Marc-Andre Fleury as the Golden Knights' starter after the veteran suffered a concussion last week. Subban had a pair of wins and a .936 save percentage in three games.
