Former Boston Bruins goalie Anton Khudobin has retired from professional hockey. The Dallas Stars confirmed the news in a post on their official X account.
Khudobin spent a nice chunk of his NHL career as a member of the Bruins, as he played four years over two stints with the Original Six club from 2011-12 to 2012-13 and 2016-17 to 2017-18. In 62 games as a Bruin, he had a 33-16-9 record, a .914 save percentage, and a 2.50 goals-against average. Overall, he worked very well as a backup goalie while he played for the Bruins. This was especially the case during the 2017-18 campaign, as he had a 16-6-7 record, a 2.56 goals-against average, and a .913 save percentage in 31 games.
In 260 career NHL games over 14 seasons split between the Minnesota Wild, Bruins, Carolina Hurricanes, Anaheim Ducks, Stars, and Chicago Blackhawks, Khudobin put together a 114-92-33 record, a .916 save percentage, and a 2.52 goals-against average.
Khudobin had his best NHL season with the Stars in 2019-20, as he recorded a 16-8-4 record, a .930 save percentage, and a 2.22 goals-against average. He also thrived for the Stars during their 2020 playoff run, as he had a 14-10 record, a .917 save percentage, and a 2.69 goals-against average in 25 games.
