The Florida Panthers wasted little time making their latest head coaching hire.
The Panthers announced Monday that they have hired former Chicago Blackhawks coach and three-time Stanley Cup winner Joel Quenneville as the 16th head coach in franchise history. The news came less than 24 hours after announcing they had fired Bob Boughner following two playoff-less seasons that began with optimism.
