Glen Gulutzan's return as head coach of the Dallas Stars marks a significant turning point for both him and the franchise. Twelve years ago, he faced dismissal in a tumultuous period marked by bankruptcy and instability. Now, after years of growth and experience, including his recent success with the Edmonton Oilers, Gulutzan is back to lead a team that has experienced playoff success in recent seasons.

General Manager Jim Nill recognized Gulutzan's professional journey and resilience, emphasizing the importance of learning from tough times. The Stars are looking to capitalize on their recent playoff appearances, and Gulutzan intends to leverage his experiences to foster success as they strive for the Stanley Cup.
