Anaheim Ducks hire veteran coach Rich Preston as assistant to Bruce Boudreau

ANAHEIM, Calif. - The Anaheim Ducks have hired Rich Preston as the third assistant coach on Bruce Boudreau's staff.

The Ducks announced the hiring Monday.

Preston is a veteran coach with NHL experience as an assistant in Chicago, Calgary and San Jose. He also has been a head coach in the WHL for Regina and Lethbridge, where he also served as general manager from 2009 to 2013.

The 63-year-old Preston played for Chicago and New Jersey in the NHL after starting his pro career with Houston and Winnipeg in the WHA.

Preston will work alongside Trent Yawney and Paul MacLean on Boudreau's staff. Scott Niedermayer is expected to do more scouting than coaching in his hybrid role for the Ducks this season.

The Ducks open the regular season Saturday in San Jose.
