Drafted by the Boston Bruins 24th overall at the 2012 NHL Entry Draft after playing his junior hockey with the Belleville Bulls of the Ontario Hockey League, Malcolm Subban has strapped on the pads for five (5) National Hockey League franchises in his career thus far including Boston, Vegas, Chicago, Buffalo and his current team, the St. Louis Blues. Offered here, we have this photo-matched mask worn by Subban during the 2021-22 season as a member of the Buffalo Sabres. A Coveted made mask with intact strapping and a white powder coated cats eye cage over the front, the design is a simplistic Sabres theme with "Sabres" script over both cheeks, racing stripes across the top, Subban's number "47" over the chin and matching buffalos over either side as well. A mix of paint and applied decals with the artists signature present under the cage at the top left, the buffalos and Subban's number on the chin are all done in applied decal. With the backplate sporting a matching racing stripes design and a "SubZero" decal, the mask exhibits just light use with marks over the top of the shell and left temple while some light chips are seen at the bottom of the left cheek. Also sporting a small number of very light and small scratches/scuffs that don't take away from the appeal of the piece, all the padding on the interior is present and accounted for along with the sweatband that is affixed at the forehead via velcro. Regarding the aforementioned photo-match, the mask is matched with Getty Image #1365496868 (January 11th, 2022 vs Tampa Bay) to the placement of the buffalo decal on the left side of the mask as well as to the wax sealed end of the strapping harness behind Subban's left temple.
