Bruce Boudreau Head Coach Bruce Boudreau, the 2007-08 Jack Adams Award winner as the NHL’s coach of the year and a member of the AHL Hall of Fame, is in his fourth season as Washington Capitals head coach and has led the team to the Southeast Division championships in each of his first four seasons. Boudreau, 56, became the 14th head coach in Washington Capitals history when he was named to the position on an interim basis, Nov. 22, 2007, and had the interim tag removed Dec. 26, 2007. He has a 189-79-39 record with Washington. Boudreau’s Capitals barely trail San Jose (190-79-38) for the best record in the NHL since he was hired. Boudreau won his 100th career game Nov. 17, 2009, in his 164th game behind the bench – the fourth-fastest coach in NHL history to reach 100 victories. Boudreau led the Capitals on a remarkable comeback from 30th in the NHL when he took over on Thanksgiving Day to the Southeast Division championship in 2007-08, his first season. His record of 37-17-7 would have been good for a 109-point pace in the course of a full season. The Capitals posted 17 come-from-behind victories under Boudreau and finished 20-6-7 in games decided by one goal. Boudreau was the first coach in NHL history to lead his team from 14th place at midseason to a playoff berth. Boudreau became the second Capitals head coach to win the Jack Adams Award (Bryan Murray, 1984) and the first coach since Bill Barber in 2001 to win the Jack Adams award after taking over a team in midseason. In 2008-09, Boudreau guided his team to what was the best record in franchise history and a successful defense of the Southeast Division title, as well as Washington’s first playoff series victory since 1998. His team ranked second in the NHL on the power play (25.2%) and third in goals per game (3.27) and he coached the repeat Hart Trophy winner (Alex Ovechkin) and two members of the NHL First All-Star Team (Ovechkin and Mike Green). Boudreau’s 2009-10 Capitals team won the Presidents’ Trophy and became the first team outside of the Original Six to accumulate at least 120 points in a season. The Capitals set franchise records in wins (54) and points (121) while leading the NHL in scoring (3.82) and power play (25.2%) for the first time. Boudreau’s team had seven 20-plus goal scorers, the NHL leader in plus/ minus (Jeff Schultz, +50) and two repeat NHL First All-Star Team selections (Ovechkin and Green). Boudreau has coached championship teams in the American Hockey League (AHL) and the ECHL and was in his third year as the head coach of the Hershey Bears, Washington’s AHL affiliate, when he was promoted to D.C. He led the Bears to the Eastern Conference championship and the Calder Cup finals in each of his two full seasons in Hershey, winning the Calder Cup in 2006. Boudreau compiled a 103-45-11-16 record with the Bears (a .666 winning percentage), including an AHL-best 51-17-6-6 record (.713) in 2006-07. Boudreau spent nine seasons as an AHL head coach, having compiled a 340- 216-56-43 career record. He spent four years with the Manchester Monarchs and two years with the Lowell Lock Monsters before joining the Bears. Before ascending to the AHL, he was the head coach and director of hockey operations for the Mississippi Sea Wolves (ECHL), where he won the 1999 Kelly Cup championship. 13 WASHINGTON CAPITALS 2011 PLAYOFF GUIDE Bruce Boudreau led the Capitals to 48 wins and 107 points in 2010-11 BRUCE BOUDREAU QUICK FACTS • Coached his 300th game Mar. 25 at Ottawa.

The Komets advanced to the Turner Cup finals his first season at the controls, and Boudreau was named the 1993-94 IHL coach of the year. A native of Toronto, Boudreau played parts of eight seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Chicago Blackhawks, recording 70 points in 141 NHL games. A third-round pick of the Leafs in the 1975 NHL draft, Boudreau enjoyed one of the best seasons ever by a Canadian junior player during 1974-75. He picked up 165 points for the Toronto Marlboros, a Canadian Hockey League record until Wayne Gretzky surpassed the mark during the 1977-78 season. An outstanding AHL player, Boudreau ranks 11th all-time in scoring in league history with 316 goals and 799 points. No AHL player in the 1980s notched more points than Boudreau, as he played for the New Brunswick Hawks, Baltimore Skipjacks, Nova Scotia Oilers, Springfield Indians and Newmarket Saints during that time. He won the 1987-88 John B. Sollenberger Trophy for leading the league in scoring, and was also a member of the 1992 Calder Cup champion Adirondack Red Wings.
