According to a report by the Philadelphia Inquirer, the team has lost eight games in a row and will finish the season with a losing record.
The moves were reported by Frank and Charlie. Rick Tocchet has emerged as a potential replacement for Vigneault, per Emily Kaplan of ESPN.
The team is one of the worst in hockey for a second straight season. The goal for the season was to compete for a playoff spot with hopes of making a run on par with at least their second-round appearance.
The third season was the one in which he was with the team. After failing to make the playoffs in 2020-21, he entered the campaign on the hot seat, but he got off to a good start with four wins in the first six games. After the hot start, things went downhill and it was a matter of time before Vigneault saw the axe.
The loss to the Lightning on Sunday likely sealed the fate of the coach.
The 60-year-old was previously the head coach of the New York Rangers and the Montreal Habs.
