Former Rangers head coach David Quinn is returning to the organization as an assistant on Mike Sullivan’s staff, the Rangers announced Thursday.

Quinn will be joined on the staff by Joe Sacco and Ty Hennes. Goaltending coach Jeff Malcolm and skills coach Christian Hmura remain as holdovers from Peter Laviolette’s staff.
