Ruff has been the Sabres' head coach for the past 11 seasons and is the winningest coach in franchise history with a regular-season record of 438-334-52 with 78 ties. He guided Buffalo to the Stanley Cup Finals in just his second season of 1998-99, losing to the Dallas Stars in six games. He is the longest tenured coach in the league. Regier, meanwhile, has been the GM since the 1997-98 campaign and has built a team that has reached the Eastern Conference finals four times. |

A timetable for finalizing the team's management structure was not immediately given. Giguere was an assistant to Lacroix with the Colorado/Quebec franchise from 1994-2001. He then spent five seasons as the assistant GM with the Dallas Stars before rejoining the Avalanche when Lacroix moved from GM to president. |

Wolski skated to the left side of the crease, getting Climie to go in the same direction, but he left the puck on the right side and tapped it into an open net.

Owners of the fewest points in the Western Conference, the Avalanche are likely looking forward to ending what has been a disastrous and injury- plagued 2008-09. Colorado doesn't show signs of ending the season strong either, as it has lost nine of its last 10 games. The club put forth a great effort on Tuesday, but still was on the wrong end of a 1-0 shootout decision t |
