## Resource

The Edmonton Oilers have parted ways with head coach Kris Knoblauch following their first-round playoff exit. Despite guiding the team to back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals, the early playoff loss sealed his fate. Knoblauch, who took over midseason in 2023, had a winning record of 166-120 in 286 games, ranking him sixth among active NHL coaches. This move marks the sixth coaching change since Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitls arrival, with the team still seeking their first championship together.
