After a road that's wound through five organizations, DallasStars' Anton Khudobin finds himself in the playoff spotlight, proving himself as perhaps the best backup in the NHL — and just as possibly the most well-liked by his teammates. (SportsnetSpec)

EDMONTON — At his first World Junior Championship, when Anton Khudobin was an 18-year-old Kazhak-born teenager entrusted with the Russian goal in Fargo North Dakota, he became the answer to a trivia question.

“This is going to be a different series,” said Vegas head coach Pete DeBoer. “We haven’t played one of the top two defensive teams in the league yet, so we’re going to have to get our head around that and find a way to create offence. It’s not going to look or feel like the last series or the Chicago series.”

“If I’m not playing, of course I’m thinking about it. But at the same time I don’t want to be cancer in the room.”
