Marc Savard is poised to rejoin the Calgary Flames, this time as an assistant coach in newly appointed bench boss Ryan Huska's staff.
The former NHL centre played four seasons with the Flames between 1999-00 and 2002-03. He lifted the Stanley Cup in 2011 as a member of the Boston Bruins.
Following his retirement from hockey, he returned behind an NHL bench as an assistant with the St. Louis Blues in 2019-20.
Savard spent the last two seasons as the head coach of the OHL's Windsor Spitfires. In his first season behind the Windsor bench, he led the Spitfires to the OHL Final in 2021-22.
The Flames fired head coach Darryl Sutter in May after missing the playoffs. Huska, who spent the previous five seasons with the club as an assistant, was promoted last week.
