Reirden arrives at Avangard Omsk after being dismissed from the Penguins, having previously won a Stanley Cup as an assistant coach with the Capitals in 2018.
His tenure as a head coach with the Capitals saw a strong record but failed to advance in playoffs, leading to his dismissal in 2020.
The current coaching landscape saw other notable NHL figures like Gerard Gallant and Todd McLellan also being considered for the Avangard head coaching position.
Reirden's signing represents a new chapter in his coaching career as he looks to rebuild his reputation in the KHL, starting with Avangard.
