Jeff Blashill said after the Detroit Red Wings finale that he’d enjoyed every second he’d been a part of the organization.
Whether his tenure behind the bench will extend past six seasons is in the hands of general manager Steve Yzerman. Blashill is in the last year of his contract, and Yzerman said last month he planned to sit down “very quickly” with Blashill after the season ended.
The Wings lost their finale, 5-4 in overtime, Saturday at Columbus. Since being named head coach in 2015, Blashill has coached the Wings to a 172-221-62 record.
