    Longtime NHL forward Bill Guerin, unable to land a contract this season, is retiring after scoring 429 goals in 18 seasons with eight clubs.

    The Pittsburgh Penguins planned to honor Guerin before their Monday night game against New Jersey. Guerin spent his final 1½ seasons with the Penguins, scoring seven goals in 24 playoff games during their run to a Stanley Cup title in 2009.

    Guerin also won the Stanley Cup with the Devils in 1995. He broke in with New Jersey during the 1991-92 season.

    The former Boston College player scored 25 goals or more eight times, including a career-high 41 with Boston during a 66-point season in 2001-02. He had a career-high 69 points on 34 goals and 35 assists with Dallas in 2003-04.

    Pittsburgh did not offer the 40-year-old Guerin a contract this season, and the Philadelphia Flyers declined to sign him after he had a preseason tryout with them. Guerin is expected to take a scouting or administrative position with the Penguins.
