NHL News: Devils assistant Andrew Brunette arrested for DUI


New Jersey Devils assistant coach Andrew Brunette was arrested Wednesday in South Florida and charged with driving under the influence among other offenses.

Brunette went 51-18-6 as interim head coach of the Florida Panthers in 2021-22.

WPLG, citing a police report, reported Brunette ran two stop signs in a golf cart in Deerfield Beach, Fla. In addition to the DUI, he was also charged with two counts of disobeying a stop or yield sign.

Brunette, 49, posted $500 bond and was expected to be released later Wednesday.

The Devils said in a statement they were aware of Brunette’s arrest. Brunette is in his first season as associate coach to Lindy Ruff.

Brunette is ostensibly in South Florida for the NHL All-Star festivities in Sunrise, Fla., home of the Panthers.

Brunette was named interim head coach of the Panthers after Joel Quenneville resigned Oct. 28, 2021, in the aftermath of a Chicago Blackhawks sexual abuse investigation. Under Brunette, the Panthers set franchise records for wins (58) and points (122) in 2021-22.

However, he wasn’t retained by the Panthers, who hired Paul Maurice to replace Brunette.

Brunette tallied 733 points (268 goals, 465 assists) over a 16-year career with six different teams, including the Minnesota Wild (2001-04, 2008-12). He retired in 2012 after spending one year with Chicago.

Brunette, who has also been an assistant coach with the Wild (2015-16), runs the Devils’ power play.

Brunette also pled guilty in May of 2022 for going 58 mph in a 40 mph zone in Deerfield Beach. He paid a $260 fine, according to WPLG.
