Panthers dismiss Gallant as coach
The Panthers fired coach Gerard Gallant after the team's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes on Sunday night, SportsNet reported.
With the latest loss, the Panthers are 11-10-1 and 10th in the Eastern Conference.
Tom Rowe, who was promoted to general manager before the season, will assume the coaching duties, The Associated Press reported.
The Panthers next play Tuesday against the Blackhawks in Chicago, the second game of a six-game trip for the reigning Atlantic Division champions.
Gallant — a coach of the year finalist last season — was 96-65-25 in parts of three seasons with the Panthers.
