“New York Rangers Part Ways with Head Coach Gerard Gallant after Disappointing Playoff Exit”

“After evaluating the season and discussing with Gerard, we agreed that it would be best for both parties to end our relationship,” Rangers general manager Chris Drury said.

The Rangers ended their season after losing to New Jersey in seven games. New York won the first two away games, but then lost three straight, and Gallant sharply criticized the team during the losing streak.

The Rangers, who have been waiting for the Stanley Cup since 1994, have been led by Gallant since June 2021 and advanced to the semi-finals of the playoffs in his first season with them. He also coached Columbus, Florida and Vegas in the past.
