San Jose Sharks GM Doug Wilson announced on Monday that the team has acquired goaltender Evgeni Nabokov from the Tampa Bay Lightning for future considerations.
Nabokov is expected to announce his retirement from hockey on Wednesday at 12 p.m. at SAP Center.
Originally drafted by San Jose in the ninth round (219th overall) of the 1994 NHL Draft, the 39-year old Nabokov holds nearly every San Jose Sharks franchise goaltending record, including games played (563), wins (154) and shutouts (50).
