Chicago Drop Yawney
Trent Yawney was fired on Monday as coach of the Chicago Blackhawks, with the National Hockey League (NHL) club turning to former star Denis Savard as the new coach to try and recapture past glories.
Savard, one of only five Blackhawks to have his jersey number retired by the club, has been an assistant coach with the team since December of 1997.
The firing came after a three-game losing skid sunk the Blackhawks to 7-12 with two overtime defeats. Yawney's final outing as coach was a 5-1 loss Friday to Edmonton.
Only one of the NHL's 30 clubs has fewer points than Chicago's 16: Central division rival Columbus on 14.
This was the third coaching switch since the NHL season began last month.
The Philadelphia Flyers fired Ken Hitchcock on Oct. 22 and the Columbus Blue Jackets dismissed Gerard Gallant on Nov. 13.
