According to sources, the Flyers have fired their coach.
According to sources, the third year of his five-year deal paid him $5 million annually.
Philadelphia's losing streak has now reached eight games after theFlyers were embarrassed by the Lightning at home 7-1 on Sunday. The Metropolitan Division has a second-worst record for the Flyers through 22 games.
A source told the network that Mike Yeo will be the coach of the team on Monday.
In his first year with the organization, he had 1,216 games of head-coaching experience. The New York Rangers, Montreal Canadiens, and theVancouverCanucks were all coached by Vigneault. The Jack Adams Award was won by him in 2007.
TheFlyers made the playoffs in their first season, but were eliminated in the second round. Philadelphia missed out on the playoffs last year, finishing in sixth place in their division.
Philadelphia made significant upgrades this year, including trading for veterans such as Ryan Ellis and Cam Atkinson. The moves have not translated into success. Ellis and other key players have had injuries. The team's poor start was blamed by the GM in a news conference last week.
