Hiller to Help Power Play

Jim Hiller, a former NHL right winger, played 63 games in the NHL, including a short stint with the Red Wings during the 1992-93 season. He returned to Detroit this offseason as a new assistant to Head Coach Mike Babcock, in order to coach the Wings’ power play unit. When healthy, that unit is a force to be reckoned with, as it includes the likes of Henrik Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk, and Johan Franzen. All three forwards, when healthy, have been phenomenal power-play performers for the Red Wings. Zetterberg (91), Datsyuk (81) and Franzen (65) are among the top 10 power-play goal scorers in franchise history. “So far, getting into the zone and creating some zone time and creating some chances has all been there,” said Niklas Kronwall. Do you think that the addition of Hiller to the coaching staff can bring the Wing’s Power Play unit among the league’s top ten?
