Stefan Matteau: Ending playing career

Matteau announced Monday that he was hanging up his skates.

Matteau was limited to just 15 minor-league games for AHL Cleveland this year, in which he generated two goals and five assists. Selected by the Devils with the 29th overall pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, the Chicago native logged 92 contests at the NHL level for the Devils, Canadiens, Golden Knights, Blue Jackets and Avalanche. In those appearances, the 31-year-old tallied six goals, five helpers and 41 PIM.
