The 29-year-old goaltender made the announcement on his Instagram page on Friday saying, \u201cDon\u2019t be sad it\u2019s over, be happy it happened. Thanks hockey, I owe ya.\u201d He last played for the Edmonton Oilers in 2025-26 after being traded by the Utah Mammoth.<\/p>\n

He had a 16-10-3 record with a 2.60 GAA and .899 save percentage in 32 regular-season games (30 starts) for the Oilers, and also appeared in five playoff contests.<\/p>\n
