Derek Lalonde was fired as coach of the Detroit Red Wings after two-plus seasons. He has been replaced by former Wings assistant coach Todd McLellan. The team announced the news Thursday, on the third day of the NHL break. The move comes as the Wings are off to a disappointing start, just 13-17-4 as they near the halfway point of the season.
