Hasek admitted he was surprised by the news.
“Can Khabibulin break my record as the oldest goaltender in the KHL? To be honest, until today I didn’t know that I was the oldest goaltender to play in the KHL.
Khabibulin’s salary under contract with Torpedo became known
I learned about Nikolai’s return on Thursday morning and, of course, I was surprised. Nikolai was a great goalie and I remember him very well, especially from his time in Arizona and Tampa. Fingers crossed that he makes a successful return to professional home ice. Although I know it won’t be easy at his age and after several years without intensive training,” Hasek quotes Match TV.
In February 2011, Hasek set a KHL record as the league’s oldest goaltender. He took the ice for Spartak in a game against SKA at the age of 46 years and 29 days.
