The New Jersey Devils, struggling to contend in a clogged Eastern Conference a season after winning a playoff round last season, fired coach Lindy Ruff Monday, the team announced.
Travis Green, an assistant for Ruff and the former coach of the Vancouver Canucks, was named the club\'s interim coach. The announcement was made by Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald, a day after New Jersey lost to the Los Angeles Kings, 5-1.
