Today Kyle Dubas and the Pittsburgh Penguins have announced the addition of David Quinn as an assistant coach alongside Mike Sullivan.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have finally filled the vacancy on their coaching staff with the hiring of David Quinn. He joins the Pittsburgh Penguins after a tenure as the head coach of the San Jose Sharks.
Over the last 5 seasons, David Quinn has been a head coach in the NHL for the New York Rangers and San Jose Sharks. He will bring a new experienced perspective to the staff of Mike Sullivan going forward.
