Former Rangers head coach David Quinn is returning to the organization as an assistant on Mike Sullivan’s staff, a source confirmed Thursday morning. Quinn will be joined on the staff by Joe Sacco and Ty Hennes. Goaltending coach Jeff Malcolm and Skills coach Christian Hmura remain on the staff as holdovers from Peter Laviolette’s staff.

The 38th head coach in New York Rangers history will be assisted by the 35th next season. David Quinn, who coached the Rangers from 2018-21, will join Sullivan’s staff along with Joe Sacco and Ty Hennes, the team announced Thursday.

The twist is that former Blueshirts head coach David Quinn will be joining Sullivan's staff as an assistant, according to a league source who spoke to lohud.com, part of the USA TODAY Network, on the condition of anonymity. The same source said that Joe Sacco and Ty Hennes will fill out the coaching staff, confirming a report from Sportsnet.
