The New York Islanders have added Jim Hiller to the coaching staff, in a move that might help a power play that struggled throughout 2018-19.
Hiller was named assistant coach, a title he held the past five years under Mike Babcock during their tenure with both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings.
Hiller had coached the power play in Toronto, though the Islanders didn’t specify his role in their official announcement, and no other changes were announced. Scott Gomez, the lone coaching staff holdover from the Doug Weight era, coached the power play last season.
