FRISCO, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Stars have hired Glen Gulutzan as their head coach 12 years after he was fired from his first stint with them by the general manager who is still there. Gulutzan returns to Dallas after spending the past seven seasons as an assistant with the Edmonton Oilers, including the past two that ended with trips to the Stanley Cup Final. This is his third job in charge of an NHL team after the Stars from 2011-13 and the Calgary Flames from 2016-18. The Stars will formally reintroduce him Wednesday at their home arena.
