FILE - In this Oct. 29, 2019, file photo, Philadelphia Flyers assistant Michel Therrien, left, and head coach Alain Vigneault stand behind their bench during the first period of an NHL hockey game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, in Pittsburgh. Of 31 teams, 20 have a former NHL head coach as an assistant and six have more than one. Concerns about having too many cooks in the kitchen are blown away by the benefits of experience for how to deal with players, handle game situations and scout opponents. When Kevin Hayes got off to a slow start with the Philadelphia Flyers, coach Alain Vigneault didn’t need to go talk to him. Assistants Mike Yeo and Michel Therrien took care of that.
