In a shocking, seemingly out-of-nowhere move, the Vegas Golden Knights have fired head coach Gerard Gallant, according to multiple reports.

#VGK announce coach Gerard Gallant has been fired, replaced by Peter DeBoer.

Vegas has hired former Sharks and Devils head coach Peter DeBoer, who was let go by San Jose earlier this season, to take over behind the bench.

The Golden Knights have dropped four straight contests and currently sit fourth place in the Pacific, but are tied for the final wild card spot and are just three points behind Arizona for first in the division.
