SAN JOSE – The NHL regular season may be half over, but the transition from San Jose to Edmonton for Todd McLellan is ongoing.
After the previous seven seasons with the Sharks, McLellan, whose family still lives in the Bay Area, will make his first appearance as a visiting head coach at SAP Center on Thursday with the Edmonton Oilers.
“I think it’s still happening. Really, it is,” McLellan said. “I still have my wife and son here, so every day I call back and there are some San Jose conversations. … Still have a tremendous friend base here in San Jose.
