Something had to give and it finally gave. The Devils have fired John Hynes and have promoted Alain Nasreddine to take over as an interim head coach.

Why did the Devils fire Hynes now? What does this mean for the rest of the season? For Taylor Hall? Plenty of analysis and commentary here: [All About the Jersey] [ESPN] [The Athletic ($)]
Life comes at you fast:
Two years ago, the Devils rode Cory Schneider, Keith Kinkaid and Taylor Hall to a playoff appearance. John Hynes was in the Jack Adams conversation and Hall won the Hart Trophy.

Now, the goalies are both in the AHL, Hall is likely on his way out of New Jersey and Hynes is done.
Just a few hours after Hynes was shown the door on Tuesday, the Devils took the ice and played a decent game but once again fell short in a 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights. [All About the Jersey] [NorthJersey.com] [NJ.com]
