The Dallas Stars placed goaltender Anton Khudobin on waivers Monday, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

The Stars entered the season with a logjam in net after adding veteran Braden Holtby during the offseason. With Jake Oettinger playing well and Ben Bishop recently deciding to retire, Khudobin now appears to be the odd man out in Dallas.

Khudobin, 35, has one year left on his contract after this season with a $3.33-million cap hit. He's struggled in the seven games he's appeared in so far in 2021-22, recording an .873 save percentage and 3.73 goals against average.

Oettinger, 22, has a sparkling .951 save percentage and 1.52 goals against average in seven contests, while Holtby seems to have found his game again as he leads the way in Dallas with 13 starts, paired with a .923 save percentage.

Khudobin had a brilliant run with the Stars during the 2020 playoffs, where he led the team to the Stanley Cup Final. He came back down to earth a bit last season, managing a .905 save percentage in 32 contests.
