Derek MacKenzie, who was captain of the Florida Panthers for two seasons, was named an assistant coach with the team on Tuesday.
MacKenzie, 37, was assisting the Panthers coaching staff in an unofficial position this season after playing one game and having season-ending shoulder injury in November. The forward played five seasons for the Panthers (2014-19) serving as captain from 2016-18. He had 54 points (20 goals, 34 assists) in 304 games with Florida and 125 points (51 goals, 74 assists) in 611 NHL games with the Panthers, Columbus Blue Jackets and Atlanta Thrashers.
MacKenzie will join Mike Kitchen and Andrew Brunette, who were also announced to the staff. Robb Tallas will return for an 11th season as goalie coach.
