New York is bringing back a familiar face in former head coach David Quinn as an assistant. Chris Drury and the Blueshirts took a chance on Quinn back in 2018-19 after his success at Boston University, but he was quickly let go after failing to make the postseason in two of his three seasons at the helm.

Rangers head coach Mike Sullivan will add former head coaches David Quinn and Joe Sacco to his staff as assistants.

David Quinn is following Mike Sullivan back to New York. The former rookie Rangers coach, who stood behind the bench for three seasons from 2018 to 2021, is set to remain on Sullivan’s staff — after the two reunited in Pittsburgh last season — and return to his first NHL club as an assistant, per a league source.
