Stars hiring Oilers assistant Glen Gulutzan as next head coach

The Dallas Stars are bringing in a familiar name to be their next head coach.

Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported on Sunday that the Stars are closing in on bringing back Gulutzan for a second tenure with the club.

Gulutzan joins the team after Pete DeBoer was fired, not long after the Stars were eliminated in the Western Conference final. DeBoer was in Dallas for three seasons, during which the team advanced to the conference final each time, but never reached a Stanley Cup Final.

Gulutzan has spent the past seven years as an assistant coach with the Edmonton Oilers, who reached back-to-back Stanley Cup Final appearances.

The 53-year-old first became a head coach with the Stars back in 2011 spending two seasons before being fired. After that Gulutzan spent three seasons with the Vancouver Canucks as an assistant coach.

In 2016, the Calgary Flames gave Gulutzan another shot at being a head coach but he was fired in 2018 after only making it to the playoffs once.
