Date News Advice
Oct. 6, 2016 Torres' stint in the Carolina Hurricanes' training camp is over. Carolina invited Torres to camp on a professional tryout, with general manager Ron Francis in August defending the decision as a low-risk move. Torres hasn't played a regular-season game in the NHL since 2013-14. He was suspended last October for 41 games - the longest suspension in NHL history for a hit on another player - and fined $440,000 for his illegal check on Anaheim's Jakob Silfverberg during a preseason game.
Feb. 22, 2016 The San Jose Sharks have acquired defenseman Roman Polak and forward Nick Spaling from the Toronto Maple Leafs for two second-round picks and Torres. Torres hasn't played this season because of suspension and injury. He also has an expiring contract.
Oct. 7, 2015 The San Jose Sharks have sent forward Raffi Torres on a conditioning assignment in the minors following the completion of his 41-game suspension. The Sharks added Torres to the active roster Wednesday and immediately assigned him to the Barracuda of the AHL. Torres was suspended for half the season for an illegal check to the head of Anaheim's Jakob Silfverberg in an exhibition game. It was the fifth suspension of Torres' career. Torres is also working his way back from a knee injury that sidelined him all of last season but coach Peter DeBoer said he believes Torres can contribute to the Sharks down the stretch.
Oct. 5, 2015 Torres was hit with the longest suspension in NHL history for a hit on another player when the league banned him Monday for the first 41 games of the season for an illegal check to the head of Anaheim's Jakob Silfverberg. This marks the fifth and most significant suspension for Torres in his career. His previous longest ban had been a 21-game suspension - initially 25 games - for a high hit on Chicago's Marian Hossa in the first round of the playoffs in 2012 when he played with Phoenix. The previous longest suspension for player-on-player violence was a 30-game suspension to Chris Simon of the New York Islanders in December 2007 for stomping on the skate of Pittsburgh's Jarkko Ruutu.
Aug. 20, 2014 Torres is out for the season after undergoing surgery for an infection in his previously surgically repaired right knee. Torres initially got hurt last preseason and underwent surgery for a torn ACL. He returned in late February and played five games before sitting out the rest of the regular season. Torres played hurt through a seven-game, first-round loss to Los Angeles in the playoffs.
March 23, 2014 Torres returned to action, scoring a goal in just eight minutes in a 6-3 win over Los Angeles on Thursday. Torres had not played since March 8 because of a knee injury.
Sept. 26, 2013 Torres returned Thursday for San Jose. He had a torn ACL in his right knee.
June 20, 2013 The San Jose Sharks have signed forward Raffi Torres to a three-year contract that will keep him off the free-agent market next month. Bringing Torres back was a major offseason priority for Wilson despite the forward's suspension for the final six games of the second round for an illegal hit on Los Angeles' Jarret Stoll.
May 16, 2013 San Jose Sharks forward Raffi Torres was suspended for the rest of the Western Conference semifinal series against Los Angeles on Thursday for a hit to Kings forward Jarret Stoll's head. Torres was assessed a minor penalty for charging for the second-period hit Tuesday night in the Kings' 2-0 victory in Game 1. Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Torres is considered a repeat offender. While playing for Phoenix last season, Torres received a 21-game suspension - initially 25 games - for a high hit on Chicago star Marian Hossa in the first round of the playoffs. Torres was suspended for two games in January 2012 for charging Minnesota defenseman Nate Prosser and for four games in April 2011 for a hit to the head of Edmonton's Jordan Eberle while playing for Vancouver.
May 4, 2013 Torres scored at 5:31 of overtime to give the San Jose Sharks a 3-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks in Game 2 of their playoff series Friday night. The Sharks took a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series, which shifts to San Jose for games Sunday and Tuesday. It was the ninth career postseason goal for Torres, who was kicked out of last year's playoffs after a vicious hit on Chicago's Marian Hossa.
April 17, 2013 Torres delivered on his coach's hunch, and goalie Antti Niemi did the rest to help San Jose move into a tie for fourth place in the Western Conference with a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night. Torres faked a shot before sliding the puck between Jonathan Quick's pads for the lone goal of the shootout that gave the Sharks their second win in two nights after a 4-0 victory in Phoenix on Monday. It was his first shootout attempt since March 2011 and he improved to 5 for 12 in his career in the tiebreaker.
April 3, 2013 The San Jose Sharks have added some toughness and defensive depth at the trade deadline by acquiring forward Raffi Torres from Phoenix. Torres has five goals and seven assists in 28 games since returning from a suspension for hitting Chicago's Marian Hossa in the head during last year's playoffs.
March 13, 2013 Torres had a goal and an assist in Phoenix's 5-2 win over Los Angeles on Tuesday. Torres had gone four straight games without a point before recording two against the Kings.
Feb. 25, 2013 Torres scored twice Sunday in a 5-4 loss at Calgary. After scoring one goal over his first six games, Torres has three and two assists over his last four.
May 3, 2012 Torres is appealing the length of his 25-game suspension. Torres was penalized last month for a hit to the head on Chicago forward Marian Hossa. Torres and the NHL Players' Association will meet with Commissioner Gary Bettman about the length of the suspension, but not the ban itself. The NHLPA says there's no date set for the meeting.
April 18, 2012 The NHL has suspended Torres 25 games for a hit that injured Chicago's Marian Hossa. For Torres, it's the third time he's been suspended by the NHL for a questionable hit in the last 13 months.
March 23, 2012 Torres tallied a goal and an assist during Thursday's 3-2 win over Colorado. Torres has notched seven points over his last eight games.
March 13, 2012 Torres tallied a goal and an assist during Monday's 5-4 shootout loss to Nashville. Despite scoring in three straight games, Torres has just 13 goals in 67 games this season.
Jan. 17, 2012 Torres missed Monday's game versus Colorado with a lower-body injury. He's day to day.
Jan. 3, 2012 Torres has been suspended two games for a hit to the head on Minnesota defenseman Nate Prosser. Torres will be eligible to return Jan. 7 versus the New York Islanders.
Dec. 27, 2011 Torres scored two goals in Monday's 4-3 loss to Los Angeles. Torres made headlines earlier in the year for wearing blackface while dressed as rap mogul Jay-Z at a Halloween party. the former first-round pick had one goal since that incident before Monday.
Oct. 31, 2011 Torres is being criticized for wearing blackface while dressed as rapper Jay-Z at a Halloween party. Torres and his wife starting drawing the ire of fans and some media after teammate Paul Bissonnette posted a photo on Twitter of the couple dressed up as Jay-Z and singer Beyonce Knowles, with both wearing blackface to a party Sunday night. The Coyotes released a statement on Monday saying the costumes were not racist and that Torres and his wife wore them because they're big fans of the entertainers. Torres is in his first season with Phoenix.
July 1, 2011 The Phoenix Coyotes have signed left wing Raffi Torres to a multiyear contract. Terms of the deals weren't disclosed. Torres had 14 goals and 29 points last season for Vancouver, which reached the Stanley Cup finals. He has 112 goals and 221 points in six NHL seasons with four teams, playing in the finals with Edmonton in 2005-06.

2016-08-30 analysis Having played 635 NHL games over his career with Vancouver, Phoenix, and San Jose, Torres has plenty of hockey knowledge he could pass down to the up and comers. However, over the past four seasons, the left winger has appeared in only 44 games due to injuries and suspensions. Now at 35 years old, the veteran has another shot to prove he belongs on an NHL team, but given his temperament and suspec
2016-08-30 update Torres will attend training camp with Carolina on a professional tryout agreement (PTO), Ben Pope of The News Observer reports.
2016-02-26 analysis Torres has been bothered by a nagging knee injury for much of the 2015-16 campaign, and has decided to forgo the rest of the season in an attempt to get back to full health. The 34-year-old winger is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, and will likely need to earn a roster spot with an NHL club in training camp if he decides to play in 2016-17.

2016-02-22 analysis Since being traded to San Jose in 2013, Torres has played in just 16 games due to injuries and suspensions.

2016-01-14 analysis Torres' long layoff -- combined with a right knee injury that required surgery Dec. 11 -- prompted the Sharks to send him to the minors in order to get him back into game shape. In order for Torres to be added to the active roster, the team decided to place Dainius Zubrus (upper body) on IR. As noted in the report, Torres will require additional practice time before he'll rejoin the lineup. He was able to take some contact in a practice last Friday but apparently needs more time to recover. "It's been feeling a little nicer every day," Torres said Friday. "Just have to battle through it and see how it reacts."
