Fleury said he and goalie coach Dave Prior have spent time teaching the talented youngster the finer points of net minding.

“I thought he had a really good season last year,” Fleury said. “He’s a good kid. He’s always smiling, so he’s great to have in the room, but he also works really hard in practice. He’s such a powerful goalie so he can get across the crease so quickly, and he uses his long arms and legs well.

“I think he’s very talented and still very young.”

His coach remains high on his potential nearly a year after the Knights claimed him on waivers from Boston.

“We have a lot of confidence in him,” Gerard Gallant said. “We don’t know how many games he’s going to play and we’ll see where it goes,

but we’re real confident with him in net. He really stood out last year and played great hockey when we needed him to. Unfortunat­ely, he had a couple injuries last season and it slowed him down, but he looks real good in practice so far.”

Subban finished last season with .910 save percentage and a 2.68 goals against average, but neither figure is of much interest to him.

“I just try to get wins,” said Subban, who has yet to see action in the preseason. “That’s all that matters. I never worry about personal stats or anything like that. Whether you win 5-4 or 1-0, it’s the same. Obviously, (Fleury) is going to be in there a lot. He’s a great goaltender. I just want to put us in a position to win games when I’m called upon.”
