The Anaheim Ducks' coaching search reportedly includes at least one internal candidate.

Ducks assistant coach Paul MacLean will interview for the head coaching position Monday, TVA's Renaud Lavoie reports.

The former Ottawa Senators head coach was re-hired as a Ducks assistant last June after occupying the same role from 2002-04 under Mike Babcock.

Babcock brought MacLean to Detroit, where the 58-year-old Nova Scotian spent eight seasons as an assistant coach with the Red Wings.

He compiled a 114-90-35 record as Ottawa's bench boss, winning the Jack Adams Award as the NHL's top head coach in 2013, but the Senators fired him in December 2014.

The Ducks fired Bruce Boudreau on April 29, and he was hired by the Minnesota Wild on Saturday.
