The New Jersey Devils released John Hynes (Boston University) on Tuesday as their head coach, after almost five seasons at the helm.
Hynes had served as head coach of the Devils since the 2015-16 campaign. They made the Stanley Cup Playoffs once in his tenure, in 2018 where they fell to Tampa Bay in the first round in five games. He finished with a record of 150-159-5 in 354 regular-season outings with New Jersey.
Prior to the Devils, Hynes served five seasons as head coach of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League, fashioning a 231-126-27 mark in 384 regular-season contests to go along with five Calder Cup Playoff appearances.
A native of Warwick, R.I., Hynes was a member of BU's 1995 NCAA title team, and played 43 games at forward for the Terriers from 1994 to 1997. He went on to coach with USA Hockey, Massachusetts-Lowell, and Wisconsin before entering the professional coaching ranks in 2009.
