Marian Hossa may have played his last NHL game.
The Chicago Blackhawks right wing will at least miss the 2017-18 season, as it was announced Wednesday that he's suffering from a skin disorder, which is being caused by an allergic reaction to his own hockey equipment.
The 38-year-old Hossa has missed 46 games over the past six seasons, but said playing right now has to take a back seat.
"Due to the severe side effects associated with those medications, playing hockey is not possible for me during the upcoming 2017-18 season," Hossa said in a statement.
