“#Rangers interview Rick Tocchet for head-coach job<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Rick Tocchet interviewed for the Rangers vacant head-coaching job Tuesday, according to NHL Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Post\u2019s Larry Brooks reported last week that the Blueshirts and new president-general<\/a> manager Chris Drury were planning to meet with the 57-year-old Tocchet, who was fired by the Arizona Coyotes after four seasons with the team.<\/p>\n

The Coyotes were 125-131-34 record under Tocchet, and missed the playoffs this season after posting a 24-26-6 record. Arizona reached the postseason last year, but lost in the first round to Colorado after defeating Nashville in the qualifying round under the Edmonton bubble.<\/p>\n

Tocchet, who also coached the Tampa Bay Lightning for two seasons (2008-2010) has a 178-200-60 record in his six seasons behind an NHL bench.<\/p>\n

The Rangers \u2014 who are looking for someone who has had previous head-coaching experience \u2014 already interviewed Gerard Gallant, who is considered to be a leading contender for the job.<\/p>\n

Gallant, also 57, has compiled a 270-216-55 career record behind the bench of the Blue Jackets, Panthers and Golden Knights, which was his last stop.<\/p>\n

The Rangers could have some competition for Tocchet, who will interview with the Sabres on Thursday and with the Blue Jackets at some point this week, according to NHL Network.<\/p>\n

Tocchet won the Stanley Cup in 1992 as a power winger with the Penguins before winning back-to-back Cups with Pittsburgh in 2016 and 2017 as one of Mike Sullivan\u2019s assistants.<\/p>\n

The Rangers fired David Quinn on May 12, soon after they ousted team president John Davidson and general manager Jeff Gorton.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
