Pittsburgh Penguins hire David Quinn as an Assistant Coach

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. He will also be brought back together with Penguins superstar Erik Karlsson who he got an opportunity to coach during Karlsson's Norris Trophy winning season.

Hopefully this new influence can get Erik Karlsson on the right track and help the Pittsburgh Penguins improve overall heading into the 2024-25 NHL season. As the offseason continues we will continue to learn what his role behind the Penguins bench will look like.
