BREAKING: Predators Hire New Head Coach
The Predators disappointingly missed the NHL playoffs this past season. Now they are looking to get back in and have started off with a major personnel change.
The Predators have hired Andrew Brunette to be their new head coach. Brunette played 77 games for the Preds in his 1,110-game career.
Brunette was a Jack Adams finalist last year as the interim head coach of the Florida Panthers. This past season he was an assistant with the New Jersey Devils.
Brunette is the 2nd head coach to get hired today after Spencer Carbery was hired by Washington this morning.
