The New York Rangers fired head coach Alain Vigneault on Saturday.
Vigneault was hired to a five-year, $10 million contract by the Rangers on June 21, 2013. He replaced John Tortorella.
The announcement came after the Rangers closed out the season with a loss to the Philadelphia Flyers in Philadelphia, finishing 34-39-9 and missing the playoffs for the first time since the 2009-10 season.
New York also finished last in the Metropolitan Division with 77 points.
