Off-season

On June 17, John Tortorella was named the 23rd head coach in team history.[5]

No captain was named to replace the departed Claude Giroux, who signed with the Ottawa Senators as a free agent following his stint with the Florida Panthers.[6] In fact, only one player, Scott Laughton, was chosen by Tortorella to serve as an alternate captain throughout the entire season.[1][7]

Regular season

General manager Chuck Fletcher was fired on March 10 and replaced on an interim basis by Daniel Briere.[8] The interim label was removed from Briere’s title a month after the regular season ended.[9]
