The Dallas Stars have added another assistant to new head coach Glen Gulutzan’s staff. David Pelletier is joining as an assistant coach, the team announced Friday. Pelletier spent the last 11 years with the Edmonton Oilers and has experience working with Gulutzan.

Faksa returns to the Stars after a year away. The Stars have not focused on adding much, as they have prioritized getting big contract extensions done that have taken up all their available cap space. They have locked up Matt Duchene and Jamie Benn among others.

Petersen worked the last two seasons with the Colorado Avalanche as skills coach where he worked to enhance and maximize the development of Avalanche and Colorado Eagles players

The Dallas Stars are narrowing down their head coaching search after letting Peter DeBoer go at the end of last season.
