Upshall announced his retirement from professional hockey Monday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

EDGE Analysis

Upshall played just 12 games in Switzerland for Ambri-Piotta this season, notching four goals, three helpers and 51 PIM. Over the course of his 15-year NHL career, the winger racked up 138 goals and 146 helpers in 759 games with Nashville, Florida, Philadelphia, Arizona, St. Louis and Columbus.

Upshall signed with HC Ambri-Piotta of the Swiss League, Frank Seravalli of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Upshall tried his hand on a PTO with the Stars this preseason but couldn't make the cut. After not receiving an offer through the first month of the season, Upshall will play overseas for the first time in his career. He's signed through Dec. 25. After his deal expires, Upshall hopes to represent Team Canada in the Spengler Cup, an international competition in which NHL players are unable to participate.

The Stars released Upshall from a professional tryout agreement Sunday, Jeff Odom of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Upshall hasn't played since the 2017-18 season after dealing with a knee injury and a lacerated kidney. The 34-year-old appeared to have a solid camp, but the Stars are tight on rosters spots. With 10 days until the season starts, Upshall may still get a tryout with another squad.

Upshall will join the Stars at training camp on a professional tryout agreement, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Upshall unsuccessfully tried out with the Oilers last season and didn't end up playing professionally in 2018-19. As such, it seems unlikely things will be any different in Dallas, though his experience (759 NHL games) could help him earn a bottom-six role.

Coach Todd McLellan told reporters that Upshall's release from his PTO was due to injury and that the team would still consider bringing him back once healthy, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

As stated by McLellan, Upshall will likely be allowed to skate with the team and may have to spend some time in the minors before the organization would consider signing him to a regular contract. It's a glimmer of hope for the veteran that his career may not have come to a close yet.

Upshall was released from his professional tryout by Edmonton on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Considering the wealth of young forward depth the Oilers have, it shouldn't come as a shock to see the veteran cut loose ahead of the season. The 34-year-old may struggle to find a new landing spot, which could mean the end of his professional career. If this is it, the winger would retire with 759 NHL games played, 138 goals and 147 assists.

Upshall (knee) has passed his physical and will join the Oilers on the ice Monday, Jason Gregor of OilersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Apparently Upshall needed a few extra days in order to pass his physical, which still doesn't bode well for his chances of securing a permanent deal from the Oilers. A wealth of young talent -- including Jujhar Khaira and Anton Slepyshev -- stand in Upshall's way of landing a spot on the 23-man roster for Opening Night against New Jersey.

Upshall (knee) failed his medical examination with the Oilers on Thursday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Upshall's failed medical doesn't technically end his professional tryout agreement with Edmonton, but now that he's expected to be sidelined for several weeks, there's virtually no chance he'll make the Opening Night roster. The 33-year-old forward will likely try to catch on with another NHL club if and when he's released from his PTO with the Oilers.

Upshall agreed to a professional tryout contract with Edmonton on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Selected sixth overall in the 2002 NHL Draft, Upshall recorded seven goals and 19 points with the Blues last season, his best point total since the 2013-14 campaign. The 34-year-old winger could provide some veteran leadership to a relatively young Oilers squad, but even if he makes the roster he likely won't play a big role. At the very least, he could provide some physicality in a bottom-sox capacity.

Upshall will miss the rest of the season with a lacerated kidney he suffered during Saturday's game against the Coyotes, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic St. Louis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Upshall was in his second game back from a 10-game hiatus due to a knee injury, but he took a huge hit from Arizona's Luke Schenn and couldn't return afterwards. The 34-year-old winger has averaged just 10:51 per game, but he's a lineup fixture and was made a healthy scratch just three times this season because of multiple costly penalties. This is the third season-ending injuries the Blues will endure within a two-week span, as defensemen Jay Bouwmeester (hip) and Carl Gunnarsson (knee) both are out for the year, so the Blues will likely turn to Tage Thompson or recall Samuel Blais to fill the void. Upshall will finish the campaign with seven goals, 19 points, 119 hits and 46 PIM in 63 games, and he'll become an unrestricted free agent after this season.
