Khudobin's career is a testament to perseverance. He never won a Stanley Cup, but his 2020 playoff run with the Stars was nothing short of heroic, earning him a place in the hearts of Dallas fans. He finished with 96 NHL wins, a solid number for a backup, and his .911 career save percentage places him among the more reliable netminders of his era. His AHL accolades in 2007 foreshadowed a career of steady, dependable play.

AwardsKhudobin's trophy case is modest but meaningful. He was named to the AHL All-Rookie Team in 2007 and won the AHL Goaltender of the Year award in 2007. He also earned a spot on the NHL All-Star Game roster in 2021, though the game was not played due to the pandemic. His greatest recognition came from his playoff performance, which earned him the Stars' MVP honors in 2020.
