Sharks name Boughner head coach, remove interim title

The San Jose Sharks have named Bob Boughner as the ninth head coach in franchise history.

Boughner was promoted from assistant coach to interim bench boss during the 2019-20 season after Peter DeBoer was relieved of his duties.

The 49-year-old guided the Sharks to a 14-20-3 record. The team dealt with some key injuries during his time behind the bench, with Erik Karlsson, Logan Couture, and Tomas Hertl all missing significant time.

Boughner previously served as the head coach of the Florida Panthers, accumulating an 80-62-22 record across two seasons.
