P.K. Subban Announces NHL Retirement After 13 Seasons; Won Norris Trophy in 2013

Veteran defenseman P.K. Subban has announced his retirement on Tuesday after 13 years in the NHL:

Subban played his first seven seasons for the Montreal Canadiens (counting the two games he played in during the 2009-10 campaign) before they traded him to the Nashville Predators. Nashville traded him to the New Jersey Devils prior to the 2019-20 season.

The three-time All-Star tallied just 59 points across three seasons with the Devils, while his 18:18 average time on ice in 2021-22 was the lowest of his career.

Subban won the 2012-13 James Norris Memorial Trophy as the best defenseman in the league with 38 points (27 assists and 11 goals) and a plus-12 mark in 42 games in a lockout-shortened season.
