"Goaltender Patrick Lalime announced his retirement Wednesday after 12 NHL seasons and will join the broadcasting staff of French-language sports network RDS.

Lalime, 37, spent the last three seasons with the Buffalo Sabres serving as Ryan Miller's backup. He played in just seven games last season, in part due to a knee injury, going 0-5-0 with a 2.96 goals-against average and .890 save percentage.

Lalime made the NHL's All-Rookie team with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1997 after winning 21 of his 39 games to go with a 2.95 GAA."
