The NHL's All-Star festivities are being held in South Florida, and Brunette coached with the Florida Panthers from 2019 to 2022; first as an assistant before replacing Joel Quenneville as the head coach early in the 2021-22 season.
Under Brunette, the Panthers won the Presidents' Trophy before being swept by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
This is a developing story.
