Edmonton places Nikolai Khabibulin on IR list
Nikolai Khabibulin - G - Edmonton Oilers
Jan. 18, 2013 - 4:15 PM ET
Nikolai Khabibulin is on the injured reserve list due to a hip injury.
Khabibulin should be considered day-to-day for now, but it looks like he will at very least miss the season opener. Yann Danis has been called up to serve as Devan Dubnyk's understudy for now. When Khabibulin's healthy, he should get a healthy amount of starts as one of the more active backup goaltenders in the league.
