Brian Sutter
BLACKHAWKS
The 45-year-old former NHL left wing had led Chicago to the league's third-most points (77) through Sunday. In 10 previous seasons behind the bench for three teams, he had a .526 winning percentage and had been to the playoffs seven times.

Darryl Sutter
SHARKS
The 43-year-old former NHL left wing had led San Jose to the league's sixth-most points (74) through Sunday. In seven previous seasons behind the bench for two teams, he had a .529 winning percentage and had been to the playoffs seven times.

THE VERDICT: Both brothers are winners, but Darryl's teams have over-achieved in the postseason more often. That makes him our pick.
