The San Jose Sharks have fired coach Bob Boughner and his staff two months after the regular season ended. The team is still in the middle of a search for a new general manager after Doug Wilson stepped down after nearly two decades on the job. Interim GM Joe Will said the search for Wilson’s replacement played a role in the decision to move on from Boughner and three assistants. Boughner coached the Sharks for the past 2 1/2 seasons after replacing Peter DeBoer in December 2019. He had one year remaining on his contract.
