The New York Rangers have hired Mike Sullivan as coach, days after he left his job with the Pittsburgh Penguins. General manager Chris Drury announced the move Friday, bringing in the organization's top candidate who was out of work for less than a full business week.

The decision ends a fantastic run by Sullivan, who was hired by the franchise during the 2015-16 season after it fired Mike Johnston.
