The Calgary Flames have announced that head coach Darryl Sutter has signed a multi-year extension.
Sutter, the reigning Jack Adams Award winner, led the team to a 50-21-11 season and a Pacific Division title last year.
The 64-year-old has a 65-36-11 overall record since being hired in March 2021 following the dismissal of Geoff Ward. He has the second most wins in franchise history behind Bob Johnson (1982-83 – 1986-87, 193 wins).
Entering his sixth season behind the bench in Calgary, Sutter has a career record of 699-503-101-94 since his start as a head coach during the 1992-93 season with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Sutter, a two-time Stanley Cup champion, has the 11th most wins as a head coach (699) in NHL history and sits just one win away from 700.
At 1397 games coached, also the 11th most in NHL history, Sutter will join Hockey Hall of Famer Pat Quinn (1400 games coached) for the tenth most early in the 2022-23 regular season.
The Flames fell in the second round of the post-season.
