Longtime NHL enforcer Kyle Clifford announced he is retiring from the NHL earlier this week.
The forward played 753 career regular-season games as well as 65 postseason contests. The large majority of his career was spent with the Los Angeles Kings, who drafted him in the second round (35th overall) in the 2009 NHL Draft. Clifford won two Stanley Cups with the Kings while playing in Los Angeles for 10 seasons from 2010 until being traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2020.
The winger then hit the open market and landed with the Blues.
