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.

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.
