Last Updated: 27/01/15 9:17pm
NHL legend Martin Brodeur has decided to call time on his record-breaking career.
The St Louis goalie will confirm his decision to retire at a press conference on Thursday.
Brodeur, who signed with St Louis last month after spending the first 21 years of his NHL career with the New Jersey Devils, has 691 career wins and 125 shutouts
The 42-year-old three-time Stanley Cup winner will stay with the Blues in a managerial role with the club.
Brodeur, who was selected in the first round of the 1990 NHL Draft, led New Jersey to three Stanley Cup championships and retires as the league leader in wins and shutouts.
The four-time Vezina Trophy winner as the NHL's top goalie also won Olympic gold medals with Canada in 2002 and 2010.
After a difficult 2010-11 campaign that had some suggesting Brodeur had reached the end of the line, he returned the next season and turned back the clock with a vintage display that left the Devils two wins shy of a fourth Stanley Cup title.
Brodeur split time in goal with Cory Schneider last season before leaving the Devils as a free agent in the off season.
After signing a one-year contract with St. Louis, Brodeur went 3-3 with a 2.87 goals-against average. In his final game, Brodeur made 16 saves in a 3-0 shutout against Colorado last month.
