The Ducks and assistant coach Paul MacLean have “mutally parted ways” following the expiration of MacLean’s contract, the team announced Thursday.
MacLean spent the last two seasons with the Ducks as an assistant under former coach Bruce Boudreau and Randy Carlyle.
He directed a power play unit that was ranked No.1 last season. But it fell to 17th this season, and general manager Bob Murray last month expressed concern about the Ducks’ 13% success rate (seven for 54) in the playoffs, including 0 for 10 in the final three games of the Western Conference finals.
