Athletistic / Hockey. Torpedo head coach Igor Larionov said goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin was preparing to go on the ice. According to Larionov, the 51-year-old goalkeeper will soon be able to play for Torpedo.

Last December, Torpedo signed the goalkeeper to a contract until the end of the season. He is also the club’s goalkeeping coach.

“Nikolai Alexandrovich [Хабибулин] ready. We spoke to him today. I won’t reveal his plans, but he’s ready to go out for a while. We have to somehow shake things up, allow people who haven’t seen his brilliant play in the NHL to see him…

We want to give him the opportunity to play and we hope it works,” Larionov said at a press conference.
