Claude Noel and Andre Savard have been hired by the New Jersey Devils as professional scouts, general manager Ray Shero announced Tuesday.

Noel, 59, joins the Devils after spending part of the 2014-15 season as head coach of the WHL's Vancouver Giants.

He served as head coach of the Winnipeg Jets for three seasons (2011-12 to 2013-14), after several seasons coaching the Vancouver Canucks' and Nashville Predators' AHL squads.

Savard, 61, brings 27 years of experience in coaching, scouting, and management to New Jersey. Most recently, he spent eight seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins, serving as assistant coach from 2006 to 2008, and a pro scout from 2009 to 2014.

Savard also worked as a head scout for the Ottawa Senators in the mid-1990s.
