The Vancouver Canucks announced Sunday they fired head coach Bruce Boudreau and assistant coach Trent Cull.
"We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Bruce and Trent for their contributions to this organization," general manager Patrik Allvin said. "We appreciate their dedication and wish them nothing but the best moving forward. This was not an easy decision to make, but one that we felt was necessary for this franchise."
Rick Tocchet will replace Boudreau as head coach, with Adam Foote moving into the assistant role.
The moves come amid an 18-25-3 start that has the Canucks sitting sixth in the Pacific division.
