Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

In a significant mid-season move, the Detroit Red Wings have fired Derek Lalonde and appointed Todd McLellan as head coach. This decision follows a poor performance, with the team losing nine of their last twelve games. McLellan, who previously won a Stanley Cup as an assistant with the Red Wings, faces the challenge of reviving a franchise that hasn't made the playoffs since the 2015-16 season. Associate coach Bob Boughner was also relieved of his duties, while Trent Yawney joins McLellan as an assistant.
