One of the more interesting things about last season’s Kraken coaching staff was the limited NHL playing experience within its ranks.
That changed Monday when the team announced that former longtime NHL winger Dave Lowry has been added as a fourth assistant to Dave Hakstol’s staff. Lowry, 57, tallied 164 goals over parts of 19 seasons with five NHL teams, reaching the Stanley Cup Final with Florida in 1995-96.
He’d spent the past two seasons as a Winnipeg Jets assistant, taking over the head job on an interim basis in December when Paul Maurice resigned unexpectedly. After coaching the Jets to a season-ending victory over the Kraken, Lowry and the rest of the Winnipeg staff were let go before Rick Bowness being hired in July as the new bench boss.
