The Calgary Flames relieved Bob Hartley of head coaching duties, the club announced Tuesday.
The firing comes less than a year after Hartley won the Jack Adams Award for the NHL's top coach, having guided the team to a 45-30-7 record (97 points), a playoff berth, and a first-round win over Vancouver in 2014-15.
This past season, however, the Flames finished 26th in the NHL standings.
Calgary is now one of four teams looking for a new head coach, along with Ottawa, Anaheim, and Minnesota.
Hartley had served as Calgary's bench boss since 2013, posting a record of 134-135-25 over four seasons.
Associate coach Jacques Cloutier will also not be returning to the club.
