Flyers Shake Up Coaching Lineup: Reirden’s Surprising New Role Sparks Speculation
The club is in the process of adding Todd Reirden to its staff, a source confirmed Thursday.
Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli first reported the news.
Reirden was last on the Penguins’ staff in 2023-24 as an associate coach. He’s a former defenseman who has a Stanley Cup ring from his time as an associate coach with the 2017-18 Capitals.
Rick Tocchet’s coaching staff is set to feature Reirden, Yogi Svejkovsky and Jay Varady.
Reirden, who turns 54 years old next Wednesday, appears to be the Flyers’ Brad Shaw replacement. Reirden oversaw Washington’s defense before he was hired as the team’s head coach the offseason after it won the Stanley Cup. In two seasons as the Capitals’ bench boss, Reirden went 89-46-16, but had a pair of first-round playoff exits.
