Wild netminder Josh Harding expected to retire (Puck Daddy)

It’s not the way it should end, but it looks like the hockey career of Josh Harding is over.

According to Michael Russo of the Star Tribune, the Minnesota Wild netminder is expected to announce his retirement. 

In Nov. 2012, Harding announced that he had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He played only five games during the regular season and took over for an injured Niklas Backstrom before Game 1 of Minnesota’s first-round series against the Chicago Blackhawks. That June he would win the Masterton Trophy.
