Alain Vigneault was named coach of the New York Rangers, inheriting a National Hockey League team that has made the playoffs in seven of the past eight seasons and hasn’t won a Stanley Cup title since 1994.
Vigneault was fired by the Vancouver Canucks, who are interviewing former Rangers’ coach John Tortorella for their vacancy. Other candidates for the Canucks’ job have been told they are no longer in the running, ESPN said, citing people familiar with negotiations.
