The Dallas Stars are bringing back Glen Gulutzan as their head coach 12 years after he was fired by the organization, a source confirmed to ESPN amid multiple reports Sunday.
Gulutzan, who was serving as an assistant coach with the Edmonton Oilers, replaces Pete DeBoer, who was fired by the Stars earlier this month after three seasons. An official announcement by the team is expected shortly.
Gulutzan will inherit a talented roster that has been runner-up in the Western Conference for three straight seasons. That includes star winger Mikko Rantanen, whom the Stars acquired at the trade deadline and singed to an eight-year, $96 million extension.
