Aucoin announced his retirement after a 17-year career Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The 39-year-old last played in the NHL during the 2013-14 season, where he appeared in two games with the St. Louis Blues. In his NHL career, the center played for a few different teams and never managed more than 13 points in a campaign. Aucoin had a journeyman's life, appearing in seven leagues across four countries. Now he moves on to the next stage of his life.

Keith Aucoin has been summoned by the St. Louis Blues. Aucoin has 11 goals and 40 points in 60 games in 2013-14. He will make his St. Louis Blues debut on Friday.

Keith Aucoin scored the lone Islanders' goal in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Sabres Friday night. Sure, it was a gift from Ryan Miller, but Aucoin still managed to get his sixth of the season on the play. Overall, the 34-year-old has excelled at the AHL level during his professional career, but success in the NHL has eluded him so far. He has no fantasy value moving foward.

Keith Aucoin may draw back into the Islanders' lineup Thursday. The team needs someone to take injured forward Michael Grabner's spot and Aucoin should get the nod. He had four goals in his first seven games, but has been relegated to the press box as a healthy scratch for the club's past seven contests.

Keith Aucoin was a healthy scratch for the Islanders Tuesday night. He produced four goals in his first seven games, but has been quiet offensively since then with one assist in his previous 12 outings. David Ullstrom returned to the lineup in his place.

Keith Aucoin scored twice in the New York Islanders' 4-2 loss Friday. Aucoin now has three goals and four points in four games. Colin McDonald and David Ullstrom each registered an assist for the Islanders.

Keith Aucoin scored his first goal as a New York Islander in Toronto on Thursday night. The Islanders claimed Aucoin off waivers from the Leafs last week and he has generated two points in three games so far this season. The 34-year-old has excelled at the AHL level during his professional career, but success in the NHL has eluded him so far.

Keith Aucoin has been claimed off of waivers by the New York Islanders. Aucoin had 10 goals and 37 points in 34 AHL games during the lockout. He's a star at the AHL level, but he's never found much success in the NHL. It will be interesting to see who his linemates are in New York, but we can't recommend picking him up at this time unless you're in a particularly deep league.

Keith Aucoin had a goal and three assists in the Toronto Marlies' 4-2 victory over the St. John's IceCaps. That extends Aucoin's current point steak to four games. Aucoin is one of the best veteran players in the AHL, but he's not expected to get much - if any - playing time with the Toronto Maple Leafs when/if the lockout ends.

Keith Aucoin netted two goals in Toronto's 4-0 win against Grand Rapids on Sunday and the first of his two markers was his 800th AHL point. He became the 11th player in the 77-year history of the AHL to reach 800 career points and he passed former Washington coach and current Anaheim bench boss Bruce Boudreau for 11th on the league's all-time scoring list. Aucoin has been playing with the Marlies this campaign, where he has 24 points in 24 games, but he hopes to secure a bottom-six role with the Leafs once the lockout is over.
