Even at the best of times, Kings Coach Darryl Sutter generally doesn’t speak much about personal milestones or achievements.
Ever since he took over behind the Kings’ bench from Terry Murray in December, 2011, Sutter’s operating philosophy has focused on team goals and successes; the only two Stanley Cups in the franchise’s history have been won on his watch.
These are not the best of times for the Kings. Depleted by injuries, their offense consistently misfiring, they are just 5-6 after 11 games, and still without a win in regulation.
Despite the gloom, Sutter managed a significant career milestone on Thursday, when he became just the 14th coach in NHL history to record 600 wins.
