Rafalski has decided to shelf his comeback attempt with the EHCL's Florida Everblades and will retire, MLive.com's Ansar Khan reports.
ANALYSIS
The 40-year-old played in just three games with the minor-league club before experiencing too much back pain to continue with his career. Rafalski previously retired after the 2010-11 season, but it looks like he's done for good now.

Another number of the Red Wings' 35-and-over club, Rafalski was also impacted by the lack of secondary scoring on the roster and saw his points total dip to 42, his lowest total since 2003-04 with the Devils. More often than not, he's paired up with Nicklas Lidstrom, which tends to be a mutually beneficial arrangement for both players' all-around production. Like Lidstrom, Rafalski was more productive at the offensive end down the stretch in March and April (4 G, 9 A in 21 games) after Johan Franzen was back in the lineup. Don't be surprised if he makes another run into the 50-point range thanks to improved power-play numbers. Rafalski averaged just less than 30 points with the man advantage during his first two seasons in Hockeytown.
