Penguins 'part ways' with assistant coach Todd Reirden

PITTSBURGH (WJAC) — The Pittsburgh Penguins announced Friday that the team has "parted ways" with associate coach Todd Reirden.

"We are grateful to Todd for his dedication and commitment to the Penguins over two separate stints with the organization," said President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Kyle Dubas. "Mike Sullivan and I have spent time over the past two weeks evaluating the coaching staff, and although these decisions are never easy, we agree that this change was in the best interest of the team moving forward."

Reirden's first stint as an assistant coach with the Penguins was from 2010 to 2014.

He then left Pittsburgh to join the Washington Capitals organization, where he eventually took over head coaching duties, in the summer of 2018, weeks after the team hoisted its first Stanley Cup trophy.

Reirden was then fired by Washington in the summer of 2020 and rejoined the Penguins' organization just one week later.
