DETROIT - The Detroit Red Wings have scheduled a news conference for defenceman Brian Rafalski amid speculation that he will retire.
The three-time Stanley Cup champion and two-time Olympic silver medallist from Dearborn, Mich., is scheduled to talk with reporters on Wednesday. He will be joined by general manager Ken Holland.
The 37-year-old Rafalski was limited by injuries to a career-low 63 games last season, finishing with just four goals.
