The Anaheim Ducks have named ex-Stanley Cup-winning head coach Darryl Sutter as an advisor to their coaching staff, executive vice president and general manager Bob Murray announced Tuesday.
In June, the Ducks hired Dallas Eakins as their new head coach, succeeding Randy Carlyle, who had been fired in February after a terrible 2-15-4 stretch where Anaheim lost 12 straight games (0-8-4) from Dec. 18-Jan. 15. Murray served as interim coach for the remainder of the season, leading the Ducks to some 14-11-1 record to finish the season.
Sutter, who led the Los Angeles Kings into Stanley Cup championships in 2012 and 2014, ended with a franchise-best 225 career wins (225-147-53). He had been fired in April 2017 following the Ducks missed the playoffs and hasn’t served as a coach.
Sutter previously was the head coach of the Calgary Flames 2002-06, serving as their general director from 2003-10, the San Jose Sharks (1997-2002) and the Chicago Blackhawks (1992-95).
He played 406 career games with the Blackhawks, amassing 279 points (161 goals, 118 assists) over eight seasons.
