As the Calgary Flames continue their investigation into allegations made by Akim Aliu against head coach Bill Peters, general manager Brad Treliving revealed that Peters will not coach Wednesday’s game against the Buffalo Sabres.
Associate coach Geoff Ward — who boasts no head coaching experience — will take over in Peters’ absence.
The Flames have yet to provide a definitive update regarding Peters’ job status.
“Our review into the allegations from last evening continues. This is a very serious matter and we want to be thorough in our review,” Treliving said in a statement.
