The Florida Panthers are rewarding their staff for a solid 2015.
Just a few hours after extending general manager Dale Tallon, the Panthers are set to ink head coach Gerard Gallant to a contract extension through 2019, George Richards of the Miami Herald reports.
It is expected that the deal will be announced on Saturday.
#FlaPanthers coach Gerard Gallant has a 59-41-19 record since joining the team. Cats are 21-12-4 this season.
