Glen Gulutzan is back with the Dallas Stars, taking on the role of an assistant coach as the organization aims to revitalize its coaching staff and improve on last season's performance. Gulutzan, who previously served as the head coach of the Stars from 2013 to 2015, is returning with the hope of bringing valuable insights and experience to the team. His familiarity with the team culture and the city of Dallas will certainly help in building strong relationships with the players.

In his past coaching stints, including time with the Calgary Flames, Gulutzan displayed a commitment to developing young talent and fostering a winning mentality. His return to Dallas is seen as a strategic move to enhance the offensive strategies and improve player performance, particularly in the face of tough competition in the Western Conference.

The Stars are looking to build a team that can compete with the likes of the Colorado Avalanche and Vegas Golden Knights. With player development as a focal point, Gulutzan’s experience will be instrumental in guiding young stars as well as seasoned veterans like Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin, helping them elevate their game to new heights. As the Stars prepare for the upcoming season, the collaboration between the coaching staff and players will be key to their success on the ice.
