Khudobin is the likely starter for Friday's game against the Blues, the Raleigh News & Observer reports.

Analysis:

Khudobin is arguably one of the NHL's hottest netminders right now, having won all of his past six starts. He also owns a GAA of 1.46 over that stretch, along with a save percentage of .945. That said, the Canes are not one of the league's strongest teams offensively, so Khudobin's hot streak is likely to come to an end anytime now. Enjoy the ride while it lasts.
