Retirement
Adrian Aucoin has officially retired from the NHL.
Aucoin was drafted 117th overall in 1992 by the Vancouver Canucks. He played 1108 games over 18 NHL seasons with the Canucks, Lightning, Islanders, Blackhawks, Flames, Coyotes and Blue Jackets. He registered 121 career goals and 278 assists (399 points). He was a one-time All-Star (2004) and an Olympic Silver Medalist in 1994 with Team Canada.
Aucoin suffered lower-body injury late in second period of Monday's game.
The Jackets have recaleed D David Savard to take the place of Aucoin
Coach Todd Richards said Adrian Aucoin will be out Friday with bumps and bruises.
Aucoin has just 2 assists in 25 games this season and is minus 9.
#CBJ coach Todd Richards says D Adrian Aucoin will return tonight and be paired with Jack Johnson vs. the Kings.
Aucoin hasn't played since January 29 and has 0 points and is a -5 on the year. He is not fantasy relevant.
Line Change
#Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said D Adrian Aucoin will be ready for Game 1 vs. Chicago. All players are healthy & available.
Aucoin's healthy gives the Coyotes even more depth on the blue line. Expect him to take Michael Stone out of the lineup.
Update on Aucoin: He is listed as day-to-day with a minor injury.
Sounds like Aucoin is questionable to play tomorrow. The 38-year-old Aucoin has been banged-up all season, finding his way into only 65 games.
No Aucoin and Gordon already left in street clothes. I think Gordon is OK but will ask Tippett.
Aucoin clearly won't be playing tonight. He has two goals and nine points in 61 games.
Aucoin also out there.
Aucoin practicing is a good indication he could play this week. He has two goals and nine points in 61 games.
