The Detroit Red Wings fired coach Derek Lalonde on Thursday and named Todd McLellan as his replacement, a major change by general manager Steve Yzerman more than a third of the way through another disappointing season in the place known as \"Hockeytown.\"
The move comes with the Red Wings on a three-game skid and having lost nine of their past 12. They are 13-17-4 this season and are above only the lowly Buffalo Sabres in the Eastern Conference.
