Joel Quenneville Passes Al Arbour for 2nd in All-Time NHL Coaching Wins

Chicago Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville took sole possession of second place on the NHL's all-time coaching wins list Thursday after his team defeated the Montreal Canadiens, 2-1, per Chris Petersof CBS Sports.

His 783rd victory broke a tie with former New York Islanders coach Al Arbour, although Quenneville has some work to do if he wants to catch Scotty Bowman and his 1,244 wins.

The 57-year-old coach accomplished the feat in his 19th season, while Arbour was at the helm for 23 years and Bowman coached for 30 years.
