Keith Primeau expects to announce his retirement by the end of the week according to a report in the Philadelphia Inquirer on Tuesday.

"I've had those discussions with my wife and I will have something more to say about it either Wednesday or Thursday," Primeau explained to The Inquirer.

"It's very tough to face," explained Primeau regarding leaving the team and the game behind. "I have not talked to the club since last week. I had been looking to get myself back into a position to play."

The 34-year-old has been battling post-concussion syndrome after taking a blow to the head from the Canadiens Alexander Perezhogin last October.
