Devils add Barr as assistant, finalizing NHL coaching staff

As reported by Tom Gulitti, former New Jersey Devils forward Dave Barr has been named the team's newest assistant coach, finalizing their NHL coaching staff.

Barr, who last played in the NHL with the Dallas Stars in 1993-94, played parts of two seasons with the Devils between 1991 and 1993, registering 12 goals and 20 assists over 103 games for New Jersey.

He also appeared in nine games for the AHL's Adirondack Red Wings during the 1989-90 season, recording one goal and 14 assists during that time.

An assistant with the Minnesota Wild the last two seasons, Barr joins fellow assistants Adam Oats and Larry Robinson, as well as goaltending coach (and one-game River Rats goalie) Chris Terreri in New Jersey for the 2011-12 season.
