Nutivaara missed the entire 2022-23 season and all but one game last season due to a hip injury.
After 275 NHL games, defenseman Markus Nutivaara is cutting his hockey career short. He has retired at age 29 because of a hip injury, per Finnish reporter Tommi Seppala of Yle Urheilu.
Nutivaara last played in the NHL in 2021-22, competing in a single game with the Florida Panthers. He reportedly suffered the injury when he crashed into the net right before the team’s opening game that season. He made it back and played 7:01 in one game Oct. 29, 2021, not knowing at the time that it would be his last. He had season-ending hip surgery and signed a one-year deal with the Sharks when free agency opened last July, expressing optimism that he’d be ready for 2022-23 training camp.
