Hammond announced his retirement from hockey Monday. Hammond mentioned an ankle injury from his time in Montreal last season as the reasoning behind his decision to hang up the pads. The 34-year-old netminder played in 67 games with the Senators, Avalanche, Canadiens and Devils during his NHL career. He posted a 31-20-7 record with a 2.56 GAA and a .916 save percentage.

Hammond was pulled in the third period of Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes after allowing six goals on 30 shots. Hammond got the hook after Carolina stretched its lead to 6-1 and the move sparked New Jersey's offense a bit. Jon Gillies entered in relief. This was likely Hammond's final appearance of the season, and he'll finish with a 4-5-1 record, 3.89 GAA and .879 save percentage split between Montreal and New Jersey.

Hammond will guard the road goal Thursday versus the Hurricanes. Hammond took an unlucky loss Sunday versus the Red Wings, allowing one goal on 22 shots. The 34-year-old has struggled at the NHL level this season, and the Hurricanes are expected to rest only three of their regulars, so this is likely to be a tough matchup.

Hammond allowed five goals on 28 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Sabres. Neither team scored in the first, but Buffalo then mustered the game's first three goals against Hammond in the second and the last two in the third. The first two Sabres goals both came on the same Devils power play. Hammond fell to 1-3-1 as a member of the Devils.

Hammond will be stationed between the pipes for Thursday's home tilt with the Sabres. Hammond is coming off a terrific win over Vegas on Monday where he stopped 42 of 44 shots. Prior to that victory, he was 0-2-1 with an .822 save percentage in three games with the Devils. The 34-year-old is sporting an unsightly 7.56 GAA and .783 save percentage in two home appearances this season.
