Seattle Kraken to Appoint Dan Bylsma as New Head Coach

Bylsma, a former Stanley Cup winner, takes over after Dave Hakstol's dismissal following a disappointing season.

Dan Bylsma has been promoted from head coach of the Kraken's AHL affiliate, the Coachella Valley Firebirds.
Bylsma previously led the Pittsburgh Penguins to a Stanley Cup victory in 2009.
The Kraken finished the last season 17 points out of a playoff spot, prompting the coaching change.
Bylsma's main task will be improving the team's offensive performance, which ranked 29th in goals scored.
Seattle will hold a news conference on Tuesday to officially announce Bylsma's hiring.
