Oilers fire Kris Knoblauch after 1st-round playoff exit that followed 2 Stanley
Cup Final trips
EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) --- The Edmonton Oilers fired coach Kris Knoblauch on
Thursday, dismissing him after a first-round exit followed him guiding the team
to consecutive trips to the Stanley Cup Final.
Knoblauch coached the Oilers to the playoffs three times since taking over as a
midseason replacement when Jay Woodcroft was fired following a bad start in
November 2023. They won 166 of their 286 total games behind the bench, and
Knoblauch's .623 regular-season points percentage ranks sixth among active NHL
coaches.
The Oilers are now set for their sixth coach since Connor McDavid entered the
NHL in 2015 and became the best player in the world, skating alongside fellow
MVP Leon Draisaitl. The two still have not won a championship, now going into
their 12th season together.
