STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN - While Travis Konecny plays for Canada at the World Championship, his NHL team found its next bench boss.

The Flyers hired Tocchet on Wednesday to replace John Tortorella, who was fired March 27. Brad Shaw was interim coach for the final nine games of the season. Sanheim and Konecny represented Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off in February, where Tocchet was an assistant and helped guide it to the championship.

There will not be another John Tortorella return to the Rangers bench. After the ex-Blueshirts coach found himself in the thick of speculation surrounding the next coaching staff, with ESPN reporting there was a “strong possibility” he could return next season, it turns out Tortorella will not have a third stint in New York in a coaching capacity.

Mike Sullivan Is Reportedly In Advanced Talks To Become Rangers’ Head Coach With John Tortorella Expected To Join Staff Mike Sullivan is expected to be the New York Rangers’ 38th head coach. Now, Sullivan has officially agreed to become the Rangers’ head coach, so where does that leave Tortorella?
