The losses from the NHL keep mounting.
It's been confirmed today by the NHL Alumni group that former Anaheim Ducks and Washington Capitals enforcer, Stephen Peat has passed away.
The 44-year-old had been suffering from injuries that were caused a few weeks ago, according to reports, and had succumbed to them.
Peat was drafted 32nd overall in the 1998 NHL Draft by the Anaheim Ducks, and played in the NHL from 2001-2006, scoring 10 points( 8 G, 2 A) in 130 games.
Peat would spend two years in the AHL, with the Washington Capitals affiliate at the time the Portland Pirates. He would make his NHL debut in 2001-2002, amassing 85 PIMs, 4 points( 2 G, 2 A) in 38 games and spending the next two years jumping between the AHL and NHL.
Peat played 130 NHL games, tallying 234 PIMS total, along with 10 points( 8 G, 2 A).
Even more infamous, Peat notched 555 PIMs in the AHL, and 7 points, in 50 games.
He would find himself playing for the Danbury Trashers in 2004-2005 during the NHL lockout, the team who'd find itself infamy due to a Netflix documentary called "Untold; Crime and Penalties".
