The Detroit Red Wings have hired Dan Bylsma as an assistant coach, the team announced Friday.
Bylsma most recently served as head coach of the Buffalo Sabres, but was released in April 2017 after the team failed to make the playoffs in his two seasons with the organization.
The 47-year-old is best known for his stint with the Pittsburgh Penguins, which included a Stanley Cup win in 2009. Pittsburgh fired him in 2014.
Bylsma also played 429 games in the NHL, split between the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks.
