John Tortorella will not return as coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets, a source told ESPN on Saturday night.
There had been heavy speculation in recent weeks that Tortorella\'s six-season tenure with the Blue Jackets would come to an end. He doesn\'t have a contract for next season and Columbus finished in last place in the Central Division with an 18-26-12 record (.429 points percentage).
\"It was awful. I\'m not even sure if we won two games in a row. I know we didn\'t win three in a row,\" Tortorella said. \"This one was a kick in the teeth for me. I struggle with it.\"
