The Toronto Maple Leafs named Jim Hiller their 41st head coach, hiring the 57-year-old who returns after two seasons as Los Angeles Kings head coach and a four-year stint as a Maple Leafs assistant from 2015 to 2019. Hiller compiled a 93-58-24 record in 175 games with the Kings, a .600 win percentage, while his NHL head-coaching playoff record stands at 3-8. Toronto is betting Hiller's familiarity with the organization and regular-season success can translate into playoff wins and reshape the team's coaching approach ahead of the next postseason push.
