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.

PITTSBURGH, PA — Former Penguins coach Mike Sullivan wasn't out of work for very long. Sullivan, who parted ways with the Penguins on Monday, was announced as the new coach of the New York Rangers Friday by team president and general manager Chris Drury.

While the Penguins continued to have strong seasons under Sullivan, the team became known for its early playoff exits. After going 34-36 last season, the Penguins fired Sullivan in April. It was the first time in his Penguins tenure that the team finished under .500.
