Why Goalie Halak’s Sudden NHL Retirement After 17 Seasons Has Fans Questioning What’s Next
A two-time William M. Jennings Trophy winner as the goalie on the team that allowed the fewest goals in a season, Halak posted a 295-189-69 record with 53 shutouts, a 2.50 goals-against average and .915 save percentage in 581 career games (555 starts). He has played with the Montreal Canadiens, St. Louis Blues, Washington Capitals, New York Islanders, Boston Bruins, Vancouver Canucks and Rangers.
“It’s been two years, and I’ve come to terms with not reaching 300 [wins],” Halak said. “Looking back on my career, it’s been a good one. It would have been nicer with 300 wins, but I’ll be happy with 295.”
