Ducks hire Paul MacLean as assistant coach

The Anaheim Ducks officially named Paul MacLean an assistant coach Tuesday, ending days of speculation that the former Ottawa Senators bench boss would join Bruce Boudreau's staff.

MacLean amassed a 114-90-35 record with the Senators before he was fired in December 2014. He spent eight seasons as an assistant coach to Mike Babcock with the Ducks and the Detroit Red Wings prior to his head-coaching stint in Ottawa.

MacLean won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL's best coach in 2013.
