Jarkko Ruutu made like Tomas Vokoun on Monday and called it a career.
Ruutu, 39, was an annoyance in parts of 12 NHL seasons, agitating opponents while playing for the Vancouver Canucks, Pittsburgh Penguins, Ottawa Senators and Anaheim Ducks before heading back to his native Finland for three seasons.
He played in the 2008 Stanley Cup final and won two Olympic medals with Finland.
