NHL Rumors: Insider Urges Maple Leafs to 'Move on' From $60 Star with Berube, Treliving Staying Put
Steve Sullivan joins as assistant coach to address Toronto's NHL-worst 13% power play conversion rate following Marc Savard's firing.
- On Friday, the Toronto Maple Leafs announced Steve Sullivan has been named an assistant coach, promoted from his role with the Toronto Marlies.
- Because the special teams unit has struggled, the move follows the firing of assistant Marc Savard on Monday, who coordinated the power play at only 13.0 per cent.
- A 51-year-old veteran, Steve Sullivan played 15 NHL seasons, compiling 747 points in 1,011 games and logged 154 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs as a Timmins, Ontario native.
- Berube clarified after Tuesday's game that the staff will run the power play for now, while Sullivan is expected to take a larger role as Toronto sits 15th in the Eastern Conference.
- Sullivan's varied NHL stops suggest broad experience for the Toronto Maple Leafs, who won the division last year, as he played for New Jersey Devils, Chicago Blackhawks, Nashville Predators, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Phoenix Coyotes.
