Jarome Iginla will officially announce his NHL retirement Monday in Calgary, the Flames said in a statement Wednesday.
The face of the Calgary Flames for more than 15 years, the 41-year-old winger didn’t play in the NHL this past season. He suited up for the Los Angeles Kings for his final 19 games in 2017.
Iginla played 20 NHL seasons, finishing with 625 goals and 675 assists in 1,554 games. He had 525 goals and 570 assists with Calgary from 1996 to 2013. The six-time All-Star is the franchise leader in goals, points and games.
His final seasons included stops in Pittsburgh, Boston and Colorado.
Iginla set up Sidney Crosby’s Olympic overtime winner in the gold-medal game for Canada against the U.S. in 2010. He also won gold in 2002.
• The Vancouver Canucks and president of hockey operations Trevor Linden have “amicably” agreed to part ways, the team announced.
• The Minnesota Wild and left wing Jason Zucker agreed on a five-year, $27.5 million contract after the 26-year-old had 33 goals and 31 assists in 82 games last season.
• The Nashville Predators signed defenseman Dan Hamhuis to a two-year contract worth a total of $2.5 million.
The 35-year-old began his NHL career in Nashville, playing there from 2003-10.

DRUG TESTING: Serena Williams again hit out at the frequency with which she is selected for anti-doping tests.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion took to Twitter on Tuesday night after another visit from a tester.
Williams tweeted: “And it’s that time of the day to get ‘randomly’ drug tested and only test Serena. Out of all the players it’s been proven I’m the one getting tested the most. Discrimination? I think so. At least I’ll be keeping the sport clean.”
