Author Matt Dolloff

The Boston Bruins will need to look elsewhere for a backup goaltender. Unrestricted free agent Anton Khudobin will sign with the Dallas Stars for a two-year deal worth “around $2.5 million” per season, according to TSN’s Darren Dreger.

Khudobin finishes his second stint with the Bruins with a .910 save percentage and 2.59 goals against average in 47 games spanning two seasons. He had a Seventh Player Award-caliber season in 2017-18 with the B’s, going 16-6-7 with a .913 save percentage and 2.56 GAA.
