As Darren Dreger (Sportsnet), Damien Cox (Sportsnet) and Bob McKenzie (TSN) report, Marc Crafword will likely be the Ottawa Senators' new assistant coach and thus work with newly appointed Guy Boucher.
Crawford and the ZSC Lions decided to go their separate ways in mid-March, as the Lions were no longer willing to accept Crawford hedging his bets with the NHL. After five seasons away from the NHL, the 55-year-old would thus get his wish and return to coach in North America. (mso)
