Colorado Eagles Associate Head Coach Dan Hinote Joins Tampa Bay Lightning
The Tampa Bay Lightning announced they have hired Colorado Eagles associate head coach Dan Hinote as an assistant coach. Hinote helped lead the Eagles to a 43-21-5 record this season, best in the AHL's Western Conference. The Eagles led the league in goals for and had an AHL-best +65 goal differential. Advertisement The 48-year-old began his coaching career as an assistant with the Columbus Blue Jackets from the 2010-2011 season through the 2013-14 season. He transitioned to a pro scout for four seasons before joining the US National Development Program's U17 and U18 teams. He then joined the Nashville Predators as an assistant for four seasons from 2020-21 through 2023-24. In his playing career Hinote recorded 38 goals and 90 points in 503 career NHL games with the Colorado Avalanche and St. Louis Blues. He won the 2001 Stanley Cup with Colorado.

Panthers look to even the Stanley Cup Final against the Oilers in Game 2
EDMONTON, Alberta — Trailing the Stanley Cup Final after losing the opener in overtime, the defending champion Florida Panthers look to even things up in Game 2 at the Edmonton Oilers. Winning on the road has not been a problem for them so far, going 8-3 away from home, the third loss coming on Leon Draisaitl's power-play goal following a puck-over-the-glass penalty on Tomas Nosek. The task of going into a packed, loud arena is just another challenge the Panthers are embracing. 'It's that 'us against the world' mindset, but you really feel it especially being down in a series,' winger Matthew Tkachuk said. 'Us against the 20-plus guys you're playing against, the 20,000 that are in the rink, the 20,000 that are outside the rink. It's just us against everybody. That's what makes playing on the road so fun and rewarding when you can get a win.' If they do, it will wrestle home-ice advantage away from the Oilers with play shifting to Sunrise for Games 3 and 4. One of the toughest parts of being on the road is trying to defend Draisaitl and Connor McDavid when they're on the ice together. Coach Kris Knoblauch did that some late in Game 1, and it's difficult for Paul Maurice to counter without the last line change to control matchups. 'When they play together, they're obviously very creative players and they'll make everyone around them better,' Florida defenseman Seth Jones said. 'They like to look for each other, especially when they play together, little give-and-goes, things like that, and then they're dangerous off the rush, too. Whether they're playing together or apart, it's a five-man unit defending.' The Oilers remain without Zach Hyman, out for the remainder of the playoffs after his right wrist got dislocated on a hit during the last round. The Panthers could be close to full strength if A.J. Greer can return, and Maurice said fourth-liner Jonah Gadjovich is good to go after missing part of Game 1.

Dallas Stars fire head coach Pete DeBoer after 3 seasons, Western Conference finals appearances
The Dallas Stars are parting ways with head coach Pete DeBoer after he led the team to three straight Western Conference Finals appearances. On Friday, the team announced it fired DeBoer despite having one more year on his contract. The coach had been in charge of the Stars since 2022. Advertisement 'After careful consideration, we believe that a new voice is needed in our locker room to push us closer to our goal of winning the Stanley Cup,' general manager Jim Nill said in a statement. 'We'd like to thank Pete for everything that he has helped our organization achieve over the past three seasons and wish him nothing but the best moving forward.' The Stars scrapped their way through the playoffs after a 50-26 regular season. Dallas beat the Colorado Avalanche in seven games and the Winnipeg Jets in six. They took a 1-0 lead over the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference finals before the opposition rallied through the next four games. Days before DeBoer's dismissal, team owner Tom Gaglardi spoke to the Dallas News and rejected speculation about DeBoer's job being in jeopardy. Advertisement 'Are you kidding me? He's a top-three, top-five coach in the league,' Gaglardi said. 'I'm just one voice in the discussion but I don't see [firing] Pete being on anyone's agenda.' Before arriving in Dallas, DeBoer had stints with the Vegas Golden Knights, San Jose Sharks, New Jersey Devils and Florida Panthers. With two Stanley Cup appearances to his name, DeBoer made the Conference Finals in six of his last seven seasons with three different teams. DeBoer, who holds a 9-0 record in Game 7s, did not have the smoothest of exits from his tenure in Dallas. After ending the regular season on a seven-game losing streak and squeezing through the first two rounds, the veteran coach made questionable decisions that led to their elimination. After winning the first game in the conference finals, the Stars lost the next four games on a 19-4 goal deficit. DeBoer benched starting goalie Jake Oettinger after the Oilers went up 2-0 in Game 5. Edmonton went on to win 6-3, eliminating the Stars for the third straight season. Advertisement 'I didn't blame it all on Jake, but you know, the reality is if you go back to last year's playoffs, he's lost six of seven games to Edmonton, and we gave up two goals on two shots in an elimination game," Deboer said postgame after yelling at Oettinger to leave the rink. "So it was partly to spark our team, and partly that the status quo had not been working," he continued. DeBoer leaves Dallas with a 149-68 record.
