Rangers Axe Laviolette in Shocking Season-End Purge: What’s Next for the Blueshirts?
Peter Laviolette was relieved of his coaching duties on Saturday, the team announced, after the Rangers failed to qualify for the playoffs in his second season at the helm.
The Blueshirts became the sixth team to hire and fire the veteran coach, who finishes his New York tenure with a regular-season record of 94-59-11 and a 10-6 playoff record.
Associate head coach Phil Housley was also fired, while assistant coaches Dan Muse and Michael Peca will have the chance to interview for the next coaching staff, according to a source.
