With the NHL offseason being in full swing for many teams, the coaching carousel saw the New York Rangers land a new bench boss on Friday. The Rangers have hired former Pittsburgh Penguins coach Mike Sullivan as the 38th coach in franchise history, the team announced on Friday.

The Rangers swept the Washington Capitals in the first round of the 2024 playoffs, then clinched a six-game victory over the Carolina Hurricanes before facing elimination at the hands of the eventual champion Florida Panthers in Game 6 of the conference final.

General manager Chris Drury announced the move, bringing in the organization’s top candidate who was out of work for less than a full business week.
