The Calgary Flames fired coach Glen Gulutzan on Tuesday after two years with the club.
Assistant coaches Dave Cameron and Paul Jerrard, who played briefly for the North Stars, also were relieved of their duties.
Gulutzan led the Flames to the playoffs in his first season in Calgary, eventually being swept by the Anaheim Ducks. But the club missed the postseason in 2017-18 after posting a 37-35-10 record.
"Accountability lies with all of us," Flames General Manager Brad Treliving said at a news conference at Scotiabank Saddledome. "As a manager I lead that charge. Our hockey staff leads that charge and also our players. When you make a decision [like] I made [Tuesday], there is lots of blame to go around."
Calgary held the Western Conference's final wild-card spot on Feb. 25, but finished 12th overall after finishing the season with only two victories over its final 11 regular-season games.
Calgary was a dismal 17-20-4 at home and its power play was 29th overall at only 16 percent.
Gulutzan has a 146-125-23 NHL coaching record that also includes two seasons with the Dallas Stars (2011-2013). He reportedly had a year remaining on his contract with the Flames.
