Nutivaara (hip) announced his retirement Friday, according to NHL reporter Tommi Seppala. Nutivaara inked a one-year contract last offseason, but he only managed to play in one preseason game before he was sidelined for the entire 2022-23 regular season. The 29-year-old played in 275 NHL games in his career, tallying 17 goals and chipping in 54 assists over that span.

Nutivaara didn't play at all in 2022-23 because of a hip injury, Corey Masisak of The Athletic reports. Nutivaara was on injured reserve for nearly the entirety of what could be his only season with the Sharks. He is a pending unrestricted free agent, and his career could be in jeopardy. Nutivaara appeared in only one game with Florida during the 2021-22 season because of the hip issue.
