Dallas Stars goaltender Anton Khudobin apologized for being late to practice Saturday, which ultimately resulted in him being benched for Sunday's game.

"I'm happy to be back," Khudobin said Monday, according to NHL.com's Tracey Myers. "Yes unfortunately, that happened, but it's not really a big deal. I talked to the coaches, it's all fine, all settled, so I'm back."

Khudobin revealed he missed his alarm on Saturday morning and showed up late to practice. Head coach Rick Bowness said he doesn't have many rules "but you damn well better follow them."

Despite the incident, Bowness made it clear on Monday that it's now water under the bridge.

"It's over," Bowness said. "We've dealt with it, we move on. That's yesterday's news."

Khudobin wasn't dressed for Sunday's tilt against the Chicago Blackhawks, as Jake Oettinger took the crease with Landow Bow serving as backup. Dallas lost 2-1 in overtime.

Bowness reaffirmed his trust in Khudobin as the team's current No. 1 goaltender with Ben Bishop sidelined, but declined to say whether it will be him or Oettinger in the crease for Tuesday's game.
