Dallas Stars goaltender Ben Bishop won't return to the NHL because of a degenerative knee injury, general manager Jim Nill told the Dallas Morning News' Matthew DeFranks on Saturday.
"It's no secret, he has a degenerative knee injury, and he went down there, he wanted to be a big part of this. He wanted to do everything he could to get back," Nill said. "In the end, by going through the process, going down there and playing, he found out that it's the end of his career."
The 35-year-old underwent surgery last year to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.
