He debuted in the KHL in 2022-23 season playing just 4:31 minutes, but in 2023-24 he became team’s No 1 goalie with 66 games played, 7 shutouts (4 in playoffs), .934 save percentage, and 2.02 goals against average. In his rookie season, Nabokov won the Gagarin Cup, was named playoffs MVP, and received KHL Rookie of the Year Award.

This guy is a future Vezina winner.
His dad Evgeni Nabokov played in the NHL w/ San Jose (hated him in 2004)
Thats a good sign usually
EDIT- NVD no relation espn failed me
Is he better than Georgie?
I like that he stepped it up to another level in the playoffs.
Seem to remember a guy like that here once, liked it when he was in net.
I’m pumped. Highlight real looks nice. Technically solid, athletic, and has some swagger. Also capable of winning big games. I hope this one pans out sooner than later
