Khabibulin will likely start Wednesday
Nikolai Khabibulin - G - Edmonton Oilers
March 8, 2011 - 10:15 AM ET

Nikolai Khabibulin (eye) is projected to start in Wednesday's game against Washington.

It would be Khabibulin's first start since he got an ice chip in his eye on February 25th. "I've had lots of snow, but nothing like that. Not even outside of hockey. One of those weird things. It hurt at the time, but the pain went away after 10 minutes. It's not like your knee or your shoulder. It hurts or it doesn't," said Khabibulin. We'll keep you posted.
