After the conclusion of the NHL regular season, significant coaching changes have occurred. The New York Rangers decided to relieve Peter Laviolette of his duties following a disappointing season, marking the end of his two-year tenure where he recorded an overall record of 94-59-11, including an Eastern Conference Final appearance in 2024. Chris Drury, the general manager, expressed gratitude for Laviolette’s contributions, emphasizing his character and dedication.

Meanwhile, the Anaheim Ducks also made a coaching change, dismissing Greg Cronin after two seasons. Although the Ducks improved their record in 2024-25 to 35-37-10, they still fell short of playoff contention. Pat Verbeek, the general manager, cited the need for a fresh direction following Cronin’s tenure.

As the postseason progresses, further coaching changes are expected, so keep an eye on CBS Sports for updates.
