NHL; Sharks Make Coaching Change

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) – The San Jose Sharks have made a coaching change with the team under .500 through 33 games.  A person with direct knowledge of the move tells The Associated Press that the Sharks have fired Peter DeBoer a day after their 3-1 loss at Nashville. The move comes amid an 0-4-1 slide that leaves them 15-16-2.  DeBoer was 198-129-4 in parts of five seasons with San Jose, leading the Sharks to the Stanley Cup finals in his first season in 2015-16. He is the fifth NHL coach to lose his job this season and the third for performance reasons.  Bob Boughner will serve as interim coach, beginning Thursday against the Rangers.
