The Chicago Blackhawks fired head coach Luke Richardson, the team announced on Thursday.
Richardson's third season with the team was off to a poor start, as Chicago's 8-16-2 record represents the worst mark in the NHL. The Blackhawks are also currently in the midst of a four-game losing streak and have lost eight of their past 10 contests.
Richardson finished his career in Chicago with a 57-118-15 overall record.
Anders Sorensen will take over as interim head coach, according to Mark Lazerus of The Athletic.
