Blackhawks' Sharp 'probably' retiring at season's end
Patrick Sharp will likely play his final NHL game Saturday in Winnipeg.
The Chicago Blackhawks winger admitted as much following Friday's loss to St. Louis, a game in which he wore an "A" as an assistant captain after Patrick Kane offered to give up that responsibility for the night.
Asked if this is his last season, Sharpy says: “Yeah, probably... I’m grateful I had the opportunity to come back to the #Blackhawks”

Sharp signed a one-year, $1-million deal with the Blackhawks last summer, and has recorded 10 goals and 11 assists in 69 games.
He'll hang up the skates as a three-time Stanley Cup champion with the Blackhawks.
Thank you, Sharpy.#Blackhawks pic.twitter.com/Co2MUt2de3

Saturday's game will be the 939th of his career, with 620 points posted with Chicago, Dallas, and Philadelphia.
