OTTAWA, Ontario -- Tom Anselmi is out as the Ottawa Senators' president and CEO.
The team said Friday that Anselmi, who was hired Jan. 27, 2017, will be "vacating his position." The Senators also announced a three-year extension for general manager Pierre Dorion, saying the team's goal remains to win a Stanley Cup.
"Having come within one goal of last season's Stanley Cup Final, we were hopeful entering this season," Senators owner Eugene Melnyk said in the team's release. "Obviously, our results have challenged those expectations. What remains unchanged is the dedication that goes into evaluating every aspect of this organization.
