We have just learned in the past few minutes that the Pittsburgh Penguins have dismissed their associate coach, Todd Reirden. While grateful for his dedication, Kyle Dubas emphasized that this change was necessary for the team's future. Reirden, former head coach of the Washington Capitals, had joined the Penguins for a second term after serving as an assistant under Dan Bylsma. Despite their history of playoff qualifications, the Penguins missed the tournament for the second consecutive year since Dubas took over. The failure of the power play, ranked 31st in the league, exacerbated issues, with 12 shorthanded goals conceded. This dismissal marks a turning point in the team's strategy, aiming to reclaim their dominant position in the NHL. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/penguins/status/1786425494021210354'> </a></blockquote></div>
