The New York Rangers have landed their next head coach. They fired Peter Laviolette after a disastrous season saw them miss the playoffs. Now, they are bringing in a two-time Stanley Cup Champion to run the bench. The Rangers have hired former Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan as the 38th bench boss in franchise history.

The Penguins and Sullivan parted ways after they missed the playoffs for the third consecutive season. While the recent success was not there. Sullivan left as the most successful coach in franchise history. He won the most regular-season and playoff games in Pittsburgh history and is the only coach in franchise history with two Stanley Cups.
