Penguins’ Jacques Martin would welcome heading coaching job

Just days after capturing the Stanley Cup as a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Jacques Martin is welcoming the idea of being a head coach once again.

The Penguins assistant coach joined TSN 1200 on Tuesday noting his desire to return as a bench boss, a job he has 17 years of experience in.

"I'd love to get another opportunity," Martin said, according to TSN 1200's Ian Mendes. "I've grown from my last stint in Montreal."

Martin last held a head coaching gig in 2011-12 after he was fired 32 games into his third season with Montreal Canadiens. Martin has a career coaching record of 613-481-119-81 in 1,294 games spent with the Canadiens, Florida Panthers, Ottawa Senators, and St. Louis Blues.
