The Rangers’s first round playoff exit has prompted a major shift within the organization. Just five days after being bested in seven games against the rival Devils, New York has agreed to part ways with head coach Gerard Gallant, according to a team announcement on Saturday.
Gallant had been with the Rangers for two seasons and made the playoffs in both years. He registered a 164-99-46 record as head coach in New York, having previously served in the same role for the Golden Knights, Panthers, and Blue Jackets.
The Rangers had a strong regular season, racking up 107 points and finishing third in the Metropolitan Division. A disappointing 4-0 Game 7 loss will go down as Gallant’s match in charge in New York.
