Carl Hagelin announced his retirement from the NHL after 11 seasons on Wednesday.
Hagelin, who won the Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2016 and 2017, hasn't played since sustaining a left eye injury when he was struck with a stick blade during practice with the Washington Capitals on March 1, 2022.
The 35-year-old forward also underwent surgery twice on his left hip while spending all of last season on long-term injured reserve with Washington.
"It's been an amazing ride but it ends here," Hagelin said. "Unfortunately, my eye injury is too severe to keep playing the game I love. I'm extremely grateful for all the memories hockey has given me and I've loved every single day of it."
