Dan Bylsma will be back behind the bench in the NHL next season after joining the Detroit Red Wings as an assistant coach.

“I know that Dan will make a great impact on our team, and we’re excited to add him to the bench,” Red Wings head coach Jeff Blashill said in a release. “His resume speaks for itself, including the Stanley Cup championship and Jack Adams Award. I also had the unique opportunity to work with Dan at this year’s World Championship, and that experience leaves no doubt that Dan will bring innovative ideas and tremendous attention to detail to our coaching staff.”

Bylsma has been out of work since being fired by the Buffalo Sabres last spring after two seasons with the team.

The 47-year-old won the Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2009 after taking over as an in-season replacement for Michel Therrien and reached the playoffs in five straight seasons with the team after that. He was fired from the Penguins in 2014 and joined the Sabres one year later.

Bylsma owns a 320-190-55 career record as a head coach and won the Jack Adams Award in 2011.
