After being allowed to hit the open market, Khudobin circled back and re-signed with the Stars. At the age of 34 and after an 11-year career, this is the longest contract that he's ever signed. A season ago, Khudobin led the NHL with a .930 SV% and and had a 2.69 GAA and .917 SV% in 25 playoff starts during the Stars run to the Stanley Cup Finals. Given Ben Bishop's injury history, Khudobin figures to a get a good number of starts again in 2021, making him a low-end No.2/high-end No.3 fantasy netminder.

Even with Ben Bishop available, the Stars will go with Khudobin in Game 1 vs. the Flames. Khudobin started two of the three round-robin games, going 1-1 while stopping 57 of 62 shots (.919 SV%). Tonight will make the first actual NHL start for Khudobin, who led the NHL with a .930 SV% during the regular-season.
