Firings watch.

So I guess yesterday was the NHL equivalent of the NFL’s “Bloody Monday”.

Peter Laviolette out as head coach of the New York Rangers.

The Rangers are now searching for their fourth coach since 2021, with Laviolette joining a list of fired bench bosses that includes David Quinn and Gerard Gallant.

Also out: “associate coach” Phil Housley.

Greg Cronin out as coach of the Anaheim Ducks.

The Ducks were 35-37-10 (80 points) with a .488 points percentage. While that was an improvement over last season (27-50-5, 59 points), it wasn’t enough to bring Cronin back after two seasons behind the bench. Anaheim missed the playoffs for the seventh straight season.
