Khudobin was traded to the Blackhawks at the Trade Deadline and will make his Chicago debut Thursday vs. Washington. The 36-year-old veteran had a 13-4-4 record, .899 SV% and 2.89 GAA through 24 games with the Texas Stars (AHL) prior to his call-up to Chicago. He will face the Washington Capitals, who are looking to snap a three-game losing streak and are 18th in the NHL in goals per game (3.13).

Khudobin was recalled directly to the active roster, bypassing the taxi squad, suggesting that Jake Oettinger or Braden Holtby will be unavailable on Tuesday. Khudobin has gone 2-4-0 with a 2.55 GAA and .903 SV% in six AHL games this season.
