Devils General Manager Tom Fitzgerald gave some updates on the Devils coaching staff when he spoke to media ahead of the NHL Draft.
Fitzgerald confirmed that Alain Nasreddine will remain on staff as an Assistant Coach. Nasreddine served as the Interim Head Coach from December 2019 until the hiring of Head Coach Lindy Ruff in July 2020.
"He's very excited about [returning] as are we. When you can keep a young talent like Alain, who did a good job with our group, tough situation, but he handled it well, learned a lot. [He] grew as a coach, young head coach. I think he's very excited about the opportunity to work with Lindy Ruff," said Fitzgerald. "We're excited about Alain coming back. He takes a lot of pride in growing our young [defense], he takes a lot of pride in working with the penalty kill, and we're excited to have him."
