After six seasons with the St. Louis Blues as the NHL goaltending development coach, Dan Stewart will be joining the New Jersey Devils as their NHL goaltending coach.
After six seasons with the St. Louis Blues, Dan Stewart is moving on.
Stewart has spent his tenure with the Blues as the NHL goaltending development coach, while also serving as the goaltending coach for their AHL affiliate, the Springfield Thunderbirds.
But he has now moved on, joining the New Jersey Devils as the NHL goaltending coach.
The 50-year-old has a long history as a goaltending coach, beginning his coaching career in the OJHL with the Cobourg Cougars in 2011. He then moved to the OHL’s Soo Greyhounds and U Sports’ Univ. of Ontario Institute of Technology.
He then made the move to the NHL, joining the Blues in the 2020-21 season.
The Devils have made plenty of moves involving the front office and staff members. It began when the Devils hired Sunny Mehta as their GM. He made changes to the assistant coaches and assistant GMs.
When the Devils announced the hiring of Stewart, they also announced two new assistant coaches, Ted Donato and A.J. MacLean, as well as a new director of goaltending, Leo Luongo, the brother of Roberto Luongo.
The Blues have made several changes themselves this off-season, including promoting Alexander Steen to GM. Now, they’ll be looking for a new AHL goaltending coach, whether through a promotion or an external hire.
