The New Jersey Devils have hired Mark Recchi as an assistant coach. Recchi joins new coach Lindy Ruff’s staff after three seasons as an assistant with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Hall of Fame player will be tasked with improving the Devils’ power play that ranked 21st in the NHL last season and help some of their young players progress.

Recchi and Pittsburgh’s other assistants didn’t have their contracts renewed after a first-round playoff exit.

He goes from a win-now mentality with the Penguins to a youth-infused rebuild in New Jersey.
