The Blue Jackets fired coaches Evason and McCarthy, hiring Rick Bowness to fix a struggling team.
The Columbus Blue Jackets fired head coach Dean Evason and assistant Steve McCarthy on January 12, 2026, replacing them with veteran coach Rick Bowness, 70, who returns after retiring in 2024.
The move follows a 19-19-7 start, leaving the team last in the Eastern Conference.
General manager Don Waddell cited underperformance and frustration despite Evason’s prior success.
Bowness, known for defensive discipline and experience with seven NHL teams, including a Stanley Cup Final appearance with Dallas in 2020, was hired to stabilize the team.
