One of the Dallas Stars’ best goaltenders in recent memory is putting his pads away for good.<\/p>\n

The 39-year old goalie Anton Khudobin has retired, according to media in Kazakhstan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Khudobin played 14 seasons in the NHL with a 114-92-33 record, a 2.52 GAA and a 91.6 save percentage.<\/p>\n

He spent 2022-23 in the minors, then went to Russia but played sparingly there. In 2024-25, Khudobin didn’t play at all, and now he has made his retirement official.<\/p>\n

Khudobin’s best NHL play came from 2018-22 with the Stars.<\/p>\n

In those four seasons, he was 47-40-17 with a 91.7 save percentage and 2.54 GAA.<\/p>\n

Khudobin put up a 93.0% save percentage in 2019-20 to lead the NHL.<\/p>\n

He also spent four seasons in Boston, two in Carolina, two in Minnesota, one in Anaheim and one in Chicago.<\/p>\n

He was originally drafted in the seventh round of the 2004 draft by the Wild.<\/p>\n

He didn’t debut in the NHL until the 2009-10 season, and in his first three NHL campaigns, he played a combined seven games.<\/p>\n

He finally played in 14 in 2012-13 for Boston, then 36 for the Hurricanes in 2013-14 to jumpstart his career.<\/p>\n

Khudobin was never given quite a full season’s workload, but he almost always acquitted himself well in the action he did get.<\/p>\n

Now, a couple years removed from the NHL, Khudobin has stepped away from the goal for good.<\/p>\n
