Capuano, 57, joins the Wild from Ottawa, where he was an associate coach for the past five seasons after a two-season stint with Florida. Before that, Capuano was with the New York Islanders for 12 seasons as a head coach, assistant and minor-league coach. Not only will Capuano team up with assistant Patrick Dwyer to coordinate the penalty kill, but Capuano will also oversee the defense; assistant Jason King runs the power play, which fared much better than the penalty kill last season. More changesThe Wild have promoted Cody McLeod to assistant director of player development after the former NHLer was a player development coach for two seasons. They also named Brian Grogesky assistant athletic trainer, Abe Edson assistant strength and conditioning coach and Dominic Hennig manager of team services.
