(TNS) —The Penguins on Friday announced Dan Muse’s first coaching staff in Pittsburgh.

Nick Bonino is a name most Penguins fans will know. He just hung up his skates and will head right into coaching. But Muse, a first-time NHL head coach, also brought in experienced coaches Todd Nelson and Rich Clune as assistants on his staff.

The Penguins announced Andy Chiodo will continue on as their goalie coach.

Troy Paquette has also joined the Penguins organization as assistant video coach, the team announced. He will work under reputable video coach Madison Nikkel.

Those hires were made official two weeks after the Penguins named Muse coach.

Earlier this week, Bonino announced he was retiring as a player after 15 years as a pro. The 37-year-old played 868 games in the NHL. Bonino was in black and gold for 146 of them, as he spent two stints in Pittsburgh. The no-frills center was a key cog on the Penguins teams that won back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017.

Bonino famously scored the series-clinching goal in overtime of Game 6 against the Washington Capitals in 2016 en route to the first of those championships.

Bonino’s playoff heroics continued in Game 1 of that season’s Stanley Cup Final against the Sharks, after his goal with 2:33 left secured a 3-2 win, etched into history thanks to the famous Punjabi goal call.

“Nick’s understanding of what it takes to win at the NHL level is unmatched, and his unique experience as a player who filled many different roles over the course of his career will only help him as an assistant coach,” Muse said in a statement.

Bonino played three years under Muse when Muse was an assistant in Nashville.

“His familiarity with the Penguins organization, as well as my familiarity with him as a player, and person, made him a great fit for this role,” Muse said about Bonino.

Bonino, who had a brief reunion with the Penguins in 2023, spent this past season playing in Austria. He opted to retire when this “unique opportunity” came along.

Nelson, a former Penguins draft pick who played one game for the team in 1991, was one of the top coaches in the American Hockey League. He led Washington’s AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears, to Calder Cup championships in 2023 and 2024.

Nelson, 56, also won a Calder Cup with Grand Rapids in 2017, making him one of just six coaches in AHL history to win three league championships. He ranks fifth all time in AHL victories. Nelson has NHL experience, too. He was briefly the head coach for Edmonton in 2014-15 and served as an assistant in Dallas and Atlanta.

“Todd brings a championship pedigree and a winning history that speaks for itself,” Muse said in a statement. “He has consistently demonstrated an exceptional ability to get the most out of his players, most recently in Hershey, and his leadership qualities and wealth of experience will be a tremendous asset to our team.”

Clune, 38, joined the Penguins after one season as an assistant with the Anaheim Ducks. Prior to that, he had a couple of different roles in the Toronto organization.

“Rich brings a wealth of knowledge across every level of professional hockey, spanning from his 15-year playing career to his time in development and coaching at the AHL and NHL levels over the past three years,” Muse said in a statement.

The Penguins on Friday did not specify what the individual responsibilities of each assistant will be. Bonino’s background as a strong NHL penalty killer would make him a logical candidate to oversee that unit. Clune oversaw Anaheim’s power play last season, albeit with poor results. He has also been an NHL development coach.

Chiodo, 42, is the lone holdover from Mike Sullivan’s last Penguins staff. This will be his eighth year in the organization. He has been their NHL goalie coach since 2021.
