The New York Islanders announced Monday that they’ve hired Bob Boughner to be an assistant on coach Patrick Roy’s staff. Ray Bennett was also named an assistant coach with the Islanders, following his eight seasons in the same role with the Colorado Avalanche.
Boughner spent two-plus seasons as the Sharks’ head coach and had a 67-85-23 record before being fired on June 30, 2022. He soon joined the Detroit Red Wings staff as an associate coach alongside head coach Derek Lalonde, but both were let go by the team on Dec. 26, 2024, after a 13-17-4 start to the season. Former Sharks coach Todd McLellan replaced Lalonde.
Last week, David Quinn, who succeeded Boughner as the Sharks’ head coach in 2022 and was fired by the team in April 2024 after two unsuccessful seasons, was officially named an assistant coach on Mike Sullivan’s staff with the New York Rangers.
Quinn, who had a 41-98-25 record with the Sharks, joined Sullivan’s staff with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2024 after being dismissed in San Jose. Sullivan and the Penguins parted ways in April.
