Phil Housley will reportedly sit down with the Buffalo Sabres when the Stanley Cup Final is over.
The Buffalo Sabres are waiting for the championship round to conclude before interviewing the Nashville Predators assistant coach for their head coaching vacancy, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.
Housley joined the Predators' coaching staff in the spring of 2013, about five months after guiding the United States to a gold-medal victory in the World Junior Championship.
He has a long history of experience with USA Hockey as a coach and a player, and ranks fourth all time in points by a defenseman in NHL history.
The Stanley Cup Final resumes with Game 6 on Sunday night, and if necessary, Game 7 will be played Wednesday.
