Detroit Red Wings Fire Derek Lalonde, Hire Todd McLellan on Multiyear Deal Amid 13-17-4 Start
Dec 26, 2024, 05:32 PM
The Detroit Red Wings have fired head coach Derek Lalonde and assistant coach Bob Boughner, announcing the appointment of Todd McLellan as the new head coach on a multiyear contract. This marks McLellan's fourth NHL head coaching job, following stints with the San Jose Sharks, Edmonton Oilers, and Los Angeles Kings. The change comes after a disappointing start to the season, with the team holding a record of 13-17-4 and currently seventh in the Atlantic Division. The Red Wings have been on a three-game losing streak and have lost nine of their past 12 games. Lalonde, who had been with the team for nearly three seasons, led the Red Wings to an 89-86-23 record. The team has not made the Stanley Cup Playoffs since the 2015-16 season.
