VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — The Vancouver Canucks have fired coach Willie Desjardins after missing the postseason for the second consecutive season.

The team announced the move Monday, a day after ending the season with its eighth straight loss.

Assistant coaches Doug Lidster and Perry Pearn were also let go.

In three seasons with Vancouver, Desjardins went 109-110-27. The 60-year-old led the club to the playoffs as a rookie NHL head coach in 2014-15, but the rebuilding Canucks took a big step backward last season and then finished 29th out of 30 teams in the NHL standings this season.
