A former Chicago Blackhawks goalie is hanging up the skates, as Anton Khudobin has retired from professional hockey.
Khudobin spent the final portion of his North American career with the Blackhawks during the 2022-23 season. This was after he was traded to the Blackhawks with a 2025 second-round pick at the 2023 NHL trade deadline in exchange for Max Domi and Dylan Wells.

After being traded to the Blackhawks during the 2022-23 season, Khudobin made one appearance for the Central Division club. The Blackhawks were the sixth and final NHL team Khudobin played for, as he also had stops with the Minnesota Wild, Boston Bruins (twice), Carolina Hurricanes, Anaheim Ducks, and Dallas Stars.
In 260 career NHL regular-season games over 14 seasons, Khudobin had a 114-92-33 record, a .916 save percentage, a 2.52 goals-against average, and 11 shutouts. He also had a 14-10-0 record, a .919 save percentage, and a 2.63 goals-against average in 27 career playoff games.
Blackhawks Forward Should Not Be Given Up OnIt is fair to say that the 2024-25 season was a tough year for Chicago Blackhawks forward Lukas Reichel. The young winger did not have the breakout season he and the club had hoped for, as he recorded eight goals, 14 assists, 22 points, and a minus-16 rating in 70 games. This was after he had five goals and 16 points in 65 games with the Blackhawks in 2023-24.
