Hockey Betting Lines

07/07/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Multiple media outlets are reporting that former San Jose Sharks goaltender Evgeni Nabokov has signed to play in Russia.

TSN.ca is reporting Nabokov signed with SKA St. Petersburg of the Kontinental Hockey League and that the agreement is for six years and $24 million.

A native of Kazakhstan, Nabokov was considered one of the top goaltenders on the free agent market after finishing last season with a 44-16-10 record, 2.43 goals-against average and three shutouts for the Pacific Division champs.

The 34-year-old, who was a ninth-round pick of the Sharks in the 1994 draft, spent all 10 of his NHL seasons with San Jose and was 293-178-37 with 29 ties, a 2.39 GAA and 50 shutouts over that time.

Though a capable and often-times dominant netminder, Nabokov bore the brunt of San Jose's repeated playoff flame-outs in recent seasons. Last season, San Jose managed to reach the conference finals for the first time since 2004, but were wiped out in a four-game sweep by eventual Cup champion Chicago.

In St. Petersburg, Nabokov would join former NHLers Sergei Zubov, Darius Kasparaitis, Alexei Yashin and Sergei Brylin.
