The Seattle Kraken have fired coach Dan Bylsma after one season, the team announced Monday.
Bylsma was fired after guiding the Kraken (35-41-6) in a single campaign that saw them finish 20 points out of the final Western Conference wild-card spot and miss the playoffs for a second consecutive season.
"We thank Dan for his commitment and the energy he brought to our organization over the past four years at the NHL and AHL levels," Kraken general manager Ron Francis said in a statement. "After a thorough review of the season and our expectations for next year and beyond, we've made the difficult decision to move in a different direction behind the bench."
