Penguins coach Bylsma tabbed U.S. men's Olympic coach

USA Hockey president Ron DeGregorio announced Saturday that Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Bylsma was named coach of the U.S. Olympic men's hockey team at the 2014 games in Sochi, Russia.

Bylsma, 42, is 201-92-25 as the Penguins coach, including winning the 2009 Stanley Cup. He won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL Coach of the Year in 2011.
