The Ottawa Senators announced head coach Guy Boucher was fired Friday morning.
Sens general manager Pierre Dorion confirmed Marc Crawford will take over the NHL's last-place team on an interim basis, saying:
"I want to thank Guy for his three years of service. He is a good person and has been an excellent representative of the Senators. At this point, however, we need a different set of coaching and leadership skills to guide our team through this rebuild. In the interim, Marc will bring a different perspective along with a wealth of head coaching experience.
