Blackhawks Could Seek Reunion With Nikolai Khabibulin

Nikolai Khabibulin likely to remain an Oiler past the trade deadline
The consensus in the hockey world at the moment is that Edmonton Oilers goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin will not be moved before this year’s February 27 trade deadline. Nor is he being shopped, says Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.
The reasons, as Jonathan Willis of the Edmonton Journal points out, are two-fold. After a 7-0-2 start, the 39-year-old has struggled to maintain...

The “Bhulin Wall” Is Back
Perhaps one of the most surprising stories of the early 2011-2012 NHL season is the recent success of Edmonton Oilers’ goaltender, Nikolai Khabibulin.
