Coffey Back Behind Oilers Bench

Paul Coffey, the Hall of Fame defenseman who turned Edmonton's blue line into a Cup Final machine, rejoins the coaching staff after a stint as special advisor. Kris Knoblauch keeps it in the family by bringing back the guy who helped clamp down to the NHL's fifth-best goals-against rate over two seasons. With 24 games left and four points out of first in the Pacific, the Oilers need that championship pedigree to fuel another deep playoff push post-Olympic break.
