Another Chicago Blackhawks legend is calling it a career.

Chicago Blackhawks legend Niklas Hjalmarsson is hanging up the skates after 14 seasons in the NHL according to Craig Morgan. Hjalmarsson spent ten seasons with the Blackhawks during which time he won three Stanley Cups and played in over 623 games during the regular season, and an additional 128 during the playoffs.

Hjalmarsson will always be remembered in Chicago for being a part of that electric core that won three Stanley Cups, and honestly, he did not get the credit he deserved during his time here.
