Khabibulin sits due to bad back: Edmonton G Nikolai Khabibulin did not play on Saturday against Chicago because of a bad back. Jeff Deslauriers started the game instead and Torrie Jung of the Edmonton Oil Kings with the Western Hockey League was signed to a tryout contract. Khabibulin is considered questionable for Monday against Phoenix. (Updated 11/22/2009).

Back - Questionable for Nov. 23 vs. Phoenix (Updated - 11/22/09)

| Fantasy Analysis |
Khabibulin has been slipping of late and the bad back could have something to do with it. It sounds like he might be out more than just the one game, so Fantasy owners probably need to look elsewhere for Fantasy Week 8 (Nov. 23-29). When healthy, Khabibulin is a No. 2 Fantasy option. The Oilers TG is also a No. 2 Fantasy option when Khabibulin is healthy. (Updated 11/22/2009).

| In Nikolai We Trust. At least that's what the Edmonton front office was saying when they signed the free-agent goalie to a four-year contract in the offseason. When Edmonton couldn't come to terms with 2008-09 starter Dwayne Roloson, they turned their attention to the free-agent market and honed in on the former Blackhawk. It's been quite a whirlwind year for Khabibulin. Last summer, the Blackhawks were looking to trade the 36-year-old netminder after signing Cristobal Huet. But Chicago found no takers and went with a two-goalie system. As soon as Joel Quenneville took over as head coach, he anointed Khabibulin as his top goalie. Khabibulin, unfortunately, only played in 42 games due to a nagging groin injury but was largely responsible for getting the team to the Western Conference finals. He went 25-8-7 with a 2.33 GAA, .919 save percentage and three shutouts in the regular season, and followed that up with an 8-6-0 record with 2.93 GAA and .898 save percentage in the playoffs. The stats really don't tell the storyline of all the clutch saves Khabibulin made. From the start of the season Khabibulin was set out to prove he could still play at a high level in the NHL, and he did just that. Khabibulin now becomes Edmonton's No. 1 goalie with Jeff Drouin-Deslaurie backing him up. Khabibulin hasn't played 70 games since 2001-02 with the Lightning and has had his fair share of injuries the last few seasons. He still has 20 or more wins in three straight seasons, but also had 20 or more losses in three straight years before posting just eight in '08-09. Because of his age and the fact he no longer plays on a top contender like Chicago, Khabibulin remains a No. 2 Fantasy goalie Draft Day. The Oilers TG is also a No. 2 option. (Updated 8/17/09) |
