Martin Havlat announces retirement

Veteran NHL forward Martin Havlat announced his retirement Wednesday.

The Czech winger had stints with six clubs in his decorated career, including a five-year run with the Ottawa Senators. He appeared in two games with the St. Louis Blues last season, scoring one goal.

Through 790 career games, Havlat tallied 242 goals and 352 assists, making two All-Star Game appearances (2007 and 2011).

Drafted 26th overall by the Senators in 1999, he's the fourth-highest scorer among his draft class, behind only Daniel and Henrik Sedin, and Henrik Zetterberg.
