The 42-year-old officially hangs them up after having spent half of his life as a player in the NHL. It's been even longer in the NHL circle when you consider he was drafted by Mighty Ducks of Anaheim back in 1996. He never managed to eclipse the 50-point plateau in the regular season, but he still played a role in three separate Stanley Cup championships during long career.

Culllen collected the puck along the boards and sent a cross ice pass to a well positioned Olli Maatta who beautifully set up Patric Hornqvist cutting through the Caps defense.

Cullen has 5 points in 9 games, a very respectable total for a 40 year old fourth liner.

An evergreen Matt Cullen must be having the time of his life having playoff success and scoring points at age 40. That number certainly didn't show when he blocked a Kevin Shattenkirk shot then hustled and shrugged off the Caps defender and a late defensive effort by T.J. Oshie to score shorthanded and kickstart Pittsburgh's offense. He also racorded an assist on the Jake Guentzel empty-netter.
