Josh Gorges is calling it quits.

The rugged blue-liner announced his retirement after spending 13 NHL seasons with the San Jose Sharks, Montreal Canadiens, and Buffalo Sabres.

Gorges spent the bulk of his career - 464 of his 783 career games - with the Habs, where he became a solid shutdown defenseman at his peak.

The 34-year-old played in 34 games with the Sabres last season before going unsigned in free agency this summer.
