The Stars have fired head coach Jim Montgomery due to unprofessional conduct, the team announced Tuesday.
Assistant coach Rick Bowness, who has been with the team since June 2018, will serve as Dallas' interim coach.
"The Dallas Stars expect all of our employees to act with integrity and exhibit professional behavior while working for and representing our organization. This decision was made due to unprofessional conduct inconsistent with the core values and beliefs of the Dallas Stars and the National Hockey League," general manager Jim Nill said in a statement.
The Stars hired Montgomery, 50, prior to the start of the 2018-19 season after he coached for five years at the University of Denver.
