The Detroit Red Wings have parted ways with assistant coach John Torchetti, whose contract expired at the end of the season.
Torchetti served as an assistant under head coach Jeff Blashill the past two seasons. He worked primarily with the forwards and was in charge of the power play. The Red Wings' power play ranked 24th in the NHL this season at 17.5 percent. It was 27th in 2016-17 at 15.1 percent.
The Red Wings could be seeking another assistant to join a staff that includes Doug Houda, who works with the defense and is in charge of the penalty kill, and Pat Ferschweiler, who ran the power play in 2015-16.
