Why Dan Muse’s Appointment as Penguins Head Coach Could Change the Team’s Future Forever
As part of his duties, Muse ran Nashville’s penalty killing unit, which ranked fourth overall in the NHL over his two full seasons (2017-19) with the club. He assumed the same role with New York from 2023-25, helping the Rangers’ penalty kill to the fourth-highest PK success rate and second-best net penalty killing percentage in that span.
A native of Canton, Massachusetts, Muse has won championships at the NCAA, USHL, and IIHF U18 and U20 level.
Muse began his coaching career at the collegiate level, primarily spending six seasons with Yale University as an assistant coach (2009-14) and associate head coach (2015), helping the Bulldogs to the National Championship in 2013. Prior to Yale, he spent one season at Sacred Heart University (2008-09) and Williams College (2007-08) after beginning his coaching career at Milton Academy in 2005.
