History

Khudobin, the Metalurg Magnitogorsk goalie of the Russian Division 2 league led Team Russia to the Gold Medal, capped by a 3-2 win over Team USA and over Vancouver’s first round selection Cory Schneider. Fellow 2004 Wild draftee Voloshenko scored in the third period to help Khudobin to the win. Khudobin kept up with all of the higher profile goalies in the tournament including Marek Schwarz and Devan Dubnyk, as well as Schneider. He even scored a goal in a win over Finland leading up to the playoff rounds.

Talent Analysis

Khudobin is a fierce competitor, but his positioning could be improved, as well as his skating. He is also very inconsistent.
