In a complete and absolute shock, the Vegas Golden Knights fired Gerard Gallant, the coach who led their team to the 2018 Stanley Cup Final, on Wednesday morning and replaced him with Peter DeBoer. Gallant is scheduled to lead the Pacific Division at the All-Star Game after VGK had the highest points percentage in the division by end of play last Thursday.
The Golden Knights have lost four-consecutive games and currently sit fifth in the division, three points out of first-place Arizona.
