FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Stars have hired Glen Gulutzan as their head coach 12 years after he was fired from his first stint with them.
General manager Jim Nill announced the move Tuesday, with Gulutzan succeeding Peter DeBoer, who was fired following the team's playoff elimination in the Western Conference finals. Back in 2013, firing Gulutzan was one of Nill's first acts when he took over.
Gulutzan, 53, coached the Stars from 2011 to 2013, going 64-57-9 and missing the playoffs in both seasons.
