Scott Niedermayer will rejoin Ducks, delay retirement
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - NHL playoffs MVP Scott Niedermayer will rejoin the Anaheim Ducks and delay his retirement.
The Ducks called a 9:30 p.m. EST news conference Wednesday "regarding the playing status of Scott Niedermayer." A person familiar with Niedermayer's situation said it would be announced that he's going to play again. The person requested anonymity because the announcement had not been made.
The 34-year-old defenseman had taken time off to decide whether he wanted to retire.
Another star in the Ducks' drive to their first Stanley Cup championship last season, 37-year-old Teemu Selanne, also hasn't played this year and hasn't said whether he will play or retire. Unlike Niedermayer, Selanne is a free agent.
