In this Jan. 30, 2019, photo, Dallas Stars head coach Jim Montgomery, center, instructs the team during a timeout of an NHL hockey game against the Buffalo Sabres in Dallas. Montgomery jumped right into the NHL from college coaching with the Stars, joining a team with immediate playoff expectations and finding himself in the middle of an unexpected drama after the surprising midseason rip job on star players Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin by the CEO. The first-year coach had some strong words of his own along the way, and the Stars never lost their grip on a postseason spot after a decade of mostly missing out. (AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez)
