The Dallas Stars fired head coach Peter DeBoer on Friday, a week after his team lost in the Western Conference finals for the third straight season.
DeBoer, 56, posted a 149-68-29 record during the regular season, however the Stars fell to the Vegas Golden Knights in six games in 2023 and the Edmonton Oilers in six and five games in 2024 and 2025, respectively.
DeBoer came under fire for pulling standout goaltender Jake Oettinger after the latter surrendered two goals on the first two shots he faced in a season-ending 6-3 setback to Edmonton in Game 5 on May 29.
“After careful consideration, we believe that a new voice is needed in our locker room to push us closer to our goal of winning the Stanley Cup,” Stars general manager Jim Nill said. “We’d like to thank Pete for everything that he has helped our organization achieve over the past three seasons and wish him nothing but the best moving forward.”
DeBoer has posted a 662-447-152 coaching record with the Florida Panthers, New Jersey Devils, San Jose Sharks, Golden Knights and Stars. He guided the Devils to the Stanley Cup Final in 2012 and the Sharks to the finals in 2016.
