The Dallas Stars have placed goaltender Anton Khudobin in the COVID-19 protocol Mike Heika of DallasStars.com, reports. There is no word yet whether or not Khudobin tested positive for the disease or was just in close contact with someone who did. Khudobin has been the starting goaltender for the Stars this season due to Ben Bishop undergoing offseason knee surgery. Khudobin has had a solid campaign with a 2.48 GAA and .908 save percentage but has started to lose playing time to Jake Oettinger.
Ben Bishop is getting closer to a return, but that may not happen until later this month.
