John Tortorella is back.
The tempestuous former Rangers boss was installed Wednesday as the new coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets, according to TSN, following the firing of Todd Richards.
Tortorella is tasked with reforming the Blue Jackets after a horrendous 0-7-0 start under Richards in which they scored 13 goals and conceded 34.
Brandon Dubinsky, a longtime resident of Tortorella’s doghouse in New York, is the Blue Jackets’ alternate captain.
