Tap title to read story
New York Rangers fire head coach Peter Laviolette and associate coach Phil Housley after failing to make the playoffs. Laviolette's two-season tenure included a franchise record-setting first year but a disappointing second. The team's struggles this season are attributed more to roster construction and player performance than coaching, according to reports. Assistant coaches Dan Muse and Michael Peca will interview for the open positions. This marks the Rangers' fourth coaching change since 2020.
