The Columbus Blue Jackets have fired head coach Pascal Vincent after just one season. The decision, announced on Monday, comes after a challenging, injury-plagued season in which the team was one of the NHL's worst teams. The Blue Jackets have not yet named a replacement, and no further decisions regarding the coaching staff will be made at this time. The search for a new head coach will begin immediately. This marks the fourth head coach change for the Blue Jackets in the past 14 months.
