After stepping down as the Dallas Stars head coach, Ken Hitchcock took an advisory role, but now he’s back behind the bench, this time with the Oilers.
Since taking over for the Oilers, he’s been a mediocre 1-1-1, as middle-of-the-road as you can get.
Hitchcock won’t be the only familiar face tonight, as the Oilers have both Alex Chiasson and Kris Russell on their roster.
The Stars are still facing a mountain of injuries, but both Ben Bishop and Martin Hanzal were out skating with the team today.
