Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Muse added the final piece to his staff Monday when the team announced that Mike Stothers has been hired.

Stothers, 63, projects to be the assistant who oversees the defense and penalty kill. Over the weekend, Penguins President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Kyle Dubas revealed that the team would be hiring one more assistant and that those would be his duties.
