Avalanche's Zach Parise: Retiring at end of playoffs

Parise said that Thursday's game versus Edmonton will be the last regular-season game in his career, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

Parise hopes to win a Stanley Cup with the Avalanche to complete his NHL career. The winger inked a deal with Colorado in the middle of the season before collecting four goals and nine points in 29 contests.
