Yannick Weber announced Tuesday he is retiring from the NHL after 13 seasons.
The 32-year-old defenseman, who was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the third round (No. 73) of the 2007 NHL Draft, scored 94 points (28 goals, 66 assists) in 499 games for the Canadiens, Vancouver Canucks, Nashville Predators and Pittsburgh Penguins.
He also scored six points (four goals, two assists) in 42 Stanley Cup Playoff games. In 2017, Weber had one assist in 22 postseason games to help the Predators reach the Stanley Cup Final before losing to the Penguins in six games.
This season, Weber played in only two games for the Penguins (Jan. 30 and Feb. 1 at the New York Rangers) before being assigned to the taxi squad. He signed a one-year, two-way contract with Pittsburgh on Jan. 27.
The Boston Bruins secured a building block on defense by signing Brandon Carlo to an extension Wednesday, but they lost blue-line depth with the retirement of Kevan Miller.
