Dekanich will hang up his skates, he announced on social media.

EDGE Analysis

Dekanich -- who was drafted by the Predators in the fifth round of the 2006 NHL Draft -- spent the last three years playing primarily in the ECHL. The Colgate University product saw action in just one NHL game for Nashville back in 2010-11, in which he posted a .880 save percentage and 3.60 GAA.

Mark Dekanich has reportedly signed with Medvescak of the KHL. He appeared in 35 games with the St. John's IceCaps of the AHL this past season, where he compiled a 16-14-1 record to go with a 2.98 goals-against average and an .895 save percentage.

Mark Dekanich has successfully cleared waivers. Going into the 2011-12 campaign Dekanich was regarded as an interesting sleeper candidate and a potential starting goaltender in the NHL. Unfortunately injuries cost him his big shot and at the age of 26, it's not clear if he'll get another golden opportunity.

The Winnipeg Jets have waived Mark Dekanich. Dekanich has a 2.80 GAA and .904 save percentage in 16 AHL games, but it wasn't too long ago that he was regarded as a very promising prospect. At the same time, the Jets already have their goaltending situation firmed up with Ondrej Pavelec and Al Montoya.

Jets' prospect Mark Dekanich is really struggling this season in the AHL. He has a 5-6 record with an .894 save percentage for St. John's. Dekanich has been sitting quite a bit lately in favour of Eddie Pasquele. He will have to do better if he is to beat out Al Montoya for a backup spot in Winnipeg behind starter Ondrej Pavelec.

Mark Dekanich turned aside 28 of 30 shots in St. John's IceCaps' 3-2 victory over the Norfolk Admirals. Dekanich bounced back nicely after allowing six goals on just 28 shots in Tuesday's 8-7 overtime win against the Portland Pirates. Dekanich will probably get a chance to compete with Al Montoya for the number two spot in Winnipeg once the lockout ends, but he'll be the underdog in that fight.

Mark Dekanich has signed with the AHL's St. John's IceCaps. Dekanich was projected to compete with Al Montoya for the backup gig in Winnipeg before the lockout started. He'll probably still get that chance when the lockout ends, but we would be surprised if he ends up winning that fight.

Mark Dekanich has signed with the Winnipeg Jets. Dekanich will probably battle with Al Montoya for the backup gig during training camp, but he's the underdog in that fight. When the 2011-12 campaign began, it looked like he would end up serving as the Blue Jackets' backup, but his season was ruined by injuries.

Mark Dekanich has undergone surgery on his ankle and will be gone for the season. This was a lost year for the netminder who entered training camp as the favorite for the backup job in Columbus but a series of injuries, culminating with the latest ankle injury, ruined his season. He should be ready for the start of training camp.

Mark Dekanich made his second rehab AHL start on Friday. Dekanich coughed up a three-goal lead in the third period. He was initially projected to serve as the Blue Jackets' number two goaltender, but Curtis Sanford has been solid during Dekanich's absence. At this point, we wouldn't be surprised if Dekanich ends up staying in the AHL for the remainder of the 2011-12 campaign.
