The 2020 NHL All Star Coaches have been announced as of Friday, based on the first place team in each division at the midway point of the season;

Todd Reirden of the Washington Capitals will serve as head coach for the Metropolitan Division, as his team has dominated the NHL through the first half of the season, currently holding a record of 27-9-5, sitting 1st overall in the NHL rankings.

Bruce Cassidy, who led his Boston Bruins to the Stanley Cup Final last year, will serve as head coach for the Atlantic Division, after leading his team to an impressive 24-7-11 record as of Friday, which ties his team in points with the first place Washington Capitals.

Craig Berube, head coach of the 2019 Stanley Cup Champion St. Louis Blues will receive the honor for the Central Division, as his team has followed up their Stanley Cup run from last season by continuing where they left off, impressively taking over the Central Division thus far and holding a record of 26-10-6, just 1 point away from tying Washington and Boston.

Gerard Gallant, head coach of the Vegas Golden Knights, has been selected to coach the Pacific Division. While his team may have struggled at the start of the year, it seems Gallant has gotten things on the right path, with his team climbing to now sit atop the Pacific Division, holding a record of 23-15-6.

The top four coaches in the league will look to make their mark on the All Star Game in St. Louis on January 24-25.
