According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, longtime NHLer Cory Stillman will be coaching in the NHL for the 2020-21 season.
Friedman reports that Stillman will be named an assistant coach for the Arizona Coyotes in the near future. The 46-year-old has spent the last three seasons as the head coach for the Sudbury Wolves of the OHL. While his first season didn't go particularly well, he was able to improve them in a big way for the 2018-19 season, leading them to a 43-20-5 record. They had a record of 34-27-2 prior to the 2019-20 season being cancelled.
Stillman enjoyed an illustrious playing career. The 6th overall pick of the Calgary Flames in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft played in 1025 career games that included stints with the Flames, St. Louis Blues, Tampa Bay Lightning, Carolina Hurricanes, Ottawa Senators, and the Florida Panthers. He last played in the NHL during the 2010-11 season. In those 1025 games, he scored 278 goals and added 449 helpers. He also played in 82 career playoff games, registering 19 goals and 51 points.
