Anton Khudobin News
Khudobin will likely start Thursday in Los Angeles.

Khudobin allowed three goals on 32 shots in the Bruins’ win over the Canucks on February 11th. Khudobin has had a tough season at the NHL level, but tonight he takes on a Kings team that has lost five of their last seven games. Khudobin is 2-5-1 with a 3.05 GAA and .888 SV% in nine appearances and is a risky option regardless of his matchup.

Khudobin will start Saturday vs. the Canucks.

Khudobin will make his first NHL start since December 23rd this afternoon. The 30-year-old has gone 1-5-1 with a 3.06 GAA and .885 SV% in seven starts and one relief appearance with the Bruins. During his time with Providence (AHL), Khudobin has gone 7-3-1 with a 2.69 GAA and .896 SV%. He is a risky spot-start even against the Canucks.

The Bruins have sent Anton Khudobin to Providence (AHL).

Khudobin was recalled after the All-Star break and served as Tuukka Rask’s backup last night, but was sent down likely so Zane McIntyre can come up and start tonight’s game in Washington. Khudobin has gone 6-3-1 with a 2.86 GAA and .892 SV% in Providence.

Khudobin struggled early in the season, going 1-5-1 with a 3.06 GAA and .885 SV% before being demoted. During his time in Providence, Khudobin went 6-3-1 with a 2.86 GAA and .892 SV%. Head coach Claude Julien would not say if Khudobin will start one of the Bruins back-to-back games on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Bruins have reassigned Anton Khudobin to Providence (AHL).

Khudobin has gone 1-5-1 with a 3.06 GAA and .885 SV% in seven starts and one relief appearance this season. Khudobin has struggled as Tuukka Rask’s backup, so he heads to the AHL after clearing waivers earlier in the week. Zane McIntyre has been recalled to take Khudobin’s spot.

Khudobin will start vs. the Avalanche.

Khudobin allowed one goal on 30 shots in the Bruins win vs. the Hurricanes last Thursday. It was Khudobin’s first win of the season and he now has a 2.75 GAA and .902 SV% in four games. Tonight he will give Tuukka Rask a night off as he faces an Avalanche team that has lost six straight games entering tonight.

Khudobin is expected to miss three weeks with an upper-body injury.

The Bruins were already without Tuukka Rask due to a minor injury and now Khudobin will miss approximately three weeks with an upper-body injury that he suffered in practice on Monday. With Rask and Khudobin out, Malcolm Subban and Zane McIntyre will serve as the Bruins’ goaltending duo.

Khudobin left Monday’s practice with an undisclosed injury.

The Bruins are already without Tuukka Rask, so an injury to Khudobin would leave the Bruins with a goaltending tandem of Malcolm Subban and Zane McIntyre. Head coach Claude Julien did not have an update on Khudobin’s status, so there’s no word on who will be available or who will start on Tuesday.

Khudobin starts for the Bruins with Tuukka Rask out.

Khudobin allowed four goals on 24 shots in the Bruins’ loss in Toronto last Saturday. He started that night because Tuukka Rask was banged up and that will be the case again tonight. Montreal has won three of their first four games and they’re always a tough team to beat when Carey Price is in goal.

Khudobin leads the Bruins onto the ice for warmups.

Despite morning skate reports that Tuukka Rask would start tonight vs. the Maple Leafs, Khudobin led the Bruins onto the ice for warmups and will get the start vs. Toronto. Head coach Claude Julien said he did not want Khudobin sitting for too long. Khudobin was 3-3-0 with a 2.69 GAA and .909 SV% in seven starts and two relief appearances with the Ducks last season before being sent to the AHL.

The Bruins signed Anton Khudobin to a two-year deal worth $2.4 million ($1.2M AAV).

Khudobin entered 2015-16 as the Ducks backup, but the emergence of John Gibson sent him to San Diego (AHL) where he was 19-8-3 with a 2.46 GAA and .921 SV%. During his brief stint with the Ducks, he was 3-3-0 with a 2.69 GAA and .909 SV%—the 30-year-old is expected to serve as Tuukka Rask’s backup and he comes in with a career 2.42 GAA and .918 SV%.

The Ducks sent Anton Khudobin to San Diego (AHL) on Wednesday.

Anton Khudobin was expected to serve as John Gibson’s backup for a second straight game, but Frederik Andersen was deemed healthy enough to dress, so Khudobin was reassigned. Khudobin has gone 4-4-1 with a 2.60 GAA and .911 SV% in nine games with San Diego.
