The Vegas Knights became the NHL's newest team when they made their debut almost five years ago.
Since then, you can never miss a playoffs, until this season.
Vegas, with Swedish goalkeeper Robin Lehner in the team, finished three points behind Nashville in the battle for a place in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Something that has resulted in DeBoer having to say thank you.
- We have considered this carefully.
It was not a hasty decision, the club's general manager Kelly McCrimmon told nhl.com.
It is not known when Robin Lehner and his teammates will get a new coach
- We have not started looking at other candidates than.
We are in a process where we want to hire the best possible candidate for the job, says McCrimmon.
DeBoer is the fourth coach to be fired since the regular season ended.
The Detroit, Philadelphia and New York Islanders also got rid of their head coaches.
