EDMONTON, Alberta (UPI) -- Goalie Nikolai Khabibulin, who led Tampa
Bay to a Stanley Cup title five years ago, signed a four-year contract
Wednesday with Edmonton.
Khabibulin, 36, posted a 25-8-7 record with Chicago last season.
"Nikolai is a world class goaltender who has proven himself throughout
his career as one of the best in the game," Edmonton General Manager
Steve Tambellini said. "He has had success at many levels of hockey
and we're looking forward to seeing him continue that success here in
Edmonton."
Khabibulin had a 1.71 goals-against average with five shutouts during
the 2004 playoffs.
In other hockey transactions Wednesday, Vancouver re-signed forwards
Daniel and Henrik Sedin to five-year contracts. The twins have played
their entire careers with the Canucks after being drafted in 1999.
Phoenix signed goaltender Jason LaBarbera, who split time with Los
Angeles and Vancouver last season, while veteran defenseman Scott
Niedermayer agreed to terms with Anaheim and goaltender Scott
Clemmensen signed a three-year contract with Florida.
Clemmensen filled in for Martin Brodeur in New Jersey last season
after Brodeur suffered a biceps injury.
