After the New York Rangers' first-round playoff exit, the franchise and coach Gerard Gallant have "mutually agreed to part ways," the team announced Saturday.
Gallant just wrapped up his second year with the Rangers and leaves with a 99-46-19 regular season record. He led the Rangers to an appearance in the Eastern Conference final last season.
But the Rangers' performance in the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs ended in disappointment. New York took a 2-0 series lead but could not get past the rival New Jersey Devils.
