The Chicago Blackhawks fired coach Luke Richardson on Thursday after simply eight wins of their first 26 video games left them with the worst file based mostly on factors within the league.
The group introduced the transfer in a launch, noting that Anders Sorensen, the coach of its AHL affiliate in Rockford, will take over on an interim foundation.
“We have begun to take steps ahead in our rebuilding course of, we felt that the outcomes didn’t match our expectations for a better stage of execution this season and in the end got here to the choice {that a} change was vital,” Blackhawks basic supervisor Kyle Davidson mentioned. “We want Luke and his household all the very best transferring ahead.”
Chicago (8-16-2) is winless in its final 4 video games and has a league-low 18 factors. The firing Thursday got here a day after a 4-2 loss to the Boston Bruins.
