PHILADELPHIA — After replacing former head coach Alain Vigneault on Dec. 6, Mike Yeo is out as Flyers interim coach, general manager Chuck Fletcher announced on Tuesday at his end-of-season news conference.
Yeo, 48, led the Flyers to a 17-36-7 record as interim coach. The Flyers, 25-46-11 overall, finished last in the Metropolitan division and missed out on the playoffs for the second consecutive year.
Fletcher praised Yeo’s efforts despite the team’s lack of success this season. He commended Yeo for helping the Flyers take steps in the right direction in certain areas of their game, including puck possession, zone entries, and scoring at five-on-five.
