Devils coach says he has colon cancer
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - New Jersey Devils coach Pat Burns has colon cancer and will immediately begin treatment, he said Sunday, a day after the defending Stanley Cup champions were knocked out of the playoffs.
Burns, 52, said his status with the team will be determined in five weeks, the earliest the treatment could end.
A three-time NHL coach of the year, Burns led the Devils to their third Stanley Cup title in nine years last season, his first with the team.
This season, New Jersey was eliminated by the Philadelphia Flyers in the first round of the playoffs.
