Update from Detroit: Goalie Chris Osgood to retire

DETROIT  The Red Wings have scheduled a conference call at noon Tuesday to announce goaltender Chris Osgood will retire and take a job within the organization.

The Free Press earlier reported Osgood would return to play, but has learned otherwise.

Osgood, 38, spent much of last season injured, unable to play past January after having surgery to repair a sports hernia. The Wings explored bringing in a new backup goaltender when free agency began July 1, including making an offer to Tomas Vokoun, but were unable to find anyone.

That prompted general manager Ken Holland to reach out to Osgood. Osgood had told the Wings after the season ended that he would like to play another season.

The Wings have few options left at backup. Ty Conklin is still available, as is Ray Emery and Marty Turco.

Osgood went 5-3-2 last season with a .903 save percentage and 2.77 goals-against average. Just before he went under the knife, he became the 10th goalie in NHL history to reach 400 victories.

He also has been in net for two Stanley Cup championships and led the Wings to Game 7 of the 2009 Final.

Wheeler reaches terms with Jets

The Winnipeg Jets reached terms with winger Blake Wheeler, who had filed for salary arbitration. His hearing was scheduled for Aug. 3.

TSN.ca reported that the deal is worth $5.1 million over two years.

The Bruins traded Wheeler to the Atlanta Thrashers on Feb. 28, and he had seven goals and 10 assists in 23 games with the team.
