Anton Khudobin, a journeyman goaltender who last appeared in the NHL in 2023, announced his retirement on Tuesday.
Khudobin, 39, played in 260 games across 14 NHL seasons with the Minnesota Wild (2009-11), Boston Bruins (2011-13, 2016-18), Carolina Hurricanes (2013-15), Anaheim Ducks (2015-16), Dallas Stars (2018-22) and Chicago Blackhawks, for whom he started one game during the 2022-23 campaign.
His best stretch came in Dallas, where he made 112 appearances (102 starts) and recorded a 2.54 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage.
All 24 of his postseason starts came with the Stars on their run to the Stanley Cup Final in the 2020 “bubble” playoffs. Khudobin went 14-10-0 in those playoffs with a 2.69 GAA and a .917 save percentage, as the Stars went on to lose the final to the Tampa Bay Lightning in six games.
Khudobin spent the 2023-24 season playing in Russia’s KHL and VHL. He did not play in 2024-25.
