Anton Khudobin back with Bruins for a shot at backup duty
Hotel Black and Gold. Anton Khudobin checked out, but he feels like he never left.
The affable Russian netminder is back in Boston with his eye set on regular work as Tuukka Rask’s relief man, after three years living the DFA life (designated for assignment) as an NHL backup goalie.
“I was like, ‘Man, I couldn’t believe I’m back,’ ’’ Khudobin said Tuesday, following his first informal workout in Brighton alongside an assortment of Bruins veterans and hopefuls at the Warrior Rink practice facility. “It felt like . . . it felt like . . . I just came back in the season. It didn’t feel like I haven’t been here in three years. . . .
No question Khudobin is thrilled. He eagerly ticked off what he likes about being back, noting how much he liked the organization and teammates in his first stay. From a practical standpoint, Boston feels like home, he said. He likes the ideas of going to Whole Foods for his groceries, and returning to his favorite barber shop when it’s time for a trim.
“It sounds like, starting right now,’’ he said with a big smile, “I am realizing I am here.’’
