The Devils will hold a 3:30 p.m. press conference today at the Prudential Center to introduce their new head coach.

A search that has taken 14 weeks since Jacques Lemaire announced his retirement on April 10 has been kept quiet by general manager Lou Lamoriello.

Finally, the GM will reveal his choice for the job 11 months after John MacLean was introduced as rookie coach at the Prudential Center.

Former Penguins coach Michel Therrien remains a top choice, although some in the Devils' organization believe Adam Oates is ready to be promoted.
