In breaking news, this NHL veteran has just been released from his professional tryout, signifying the likely end to his NHL career.
The Carolina Hurricanes have released goaltender Jaroslav Halak from his professional tryout from the team today, according to Walt Ruff on social media. Halak joined the Hurricanes earlier this month after goaltender Frederik Anderson was ruled with a blood clotting issue.
Halak has played in 581 games during his NHL career. While it is by no means guaranteed to be over, his release from the Hurricanes strongly signals in that direction. It will be difficult for him to crack another NHL roster.
