The Ottawa Senators are finalizing a deal to hire former Vancouver Canucks and New Jersey Devils bench boss Travis Green as their next head coach, reports TSN's Darren Dreger.
An announcement is expected Wednesday if contract discussions proceed smoothly, per Postmedia's Bruce Garrioch.
Green served as head coach of the Canucks from 2017-22, making the playoffs in 2020. Vancouver won its qualifying-round series over the Minnesota Wild that year and upset the reigning Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues in Round 1 before falling to the Vegas Golden Knights in Round 2.
