NEWARK, N.J. -- Sheldon Keefe has filled out his coaching staff with the New Jersey Devils, hiring former Chicago Blackhawks head man Jeremy Colliton.

Devils president and general manager Tom Fitzgerald made the announcement Tuesday, less than three weeks after hiring Keefe following his dismissal by the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Keefe retained most of the staff that finished last season under interim coach Travis Green, who had taken over after Lindy Ruff was fired by New Jersey in early March.

Back for next year are assistants Ryan McGill, Chris Taylor and Sergei Brylin, and goaltending coach Dave Rogalski.
