The Blue Jackets fired coaches Evason and McCarthy, hiring Rick Bowness to fix a struggling team.
On January 12, 2026, the Columbus Blue Jackets fired head coach Dean Evason and assistant Steve McCarthy, and replaced them with veteran coach Rick Bowness, 70, who returned after retiring in 2024.
The move comes after a 19-19-7 start, which landed the team last in the Eastern Conference.
Don Waddell, the general manager, cited underperformance and frustration despite Evason's previous success.
Bowness, known for his defensive discipline and experience with seven NHL teams, including a Stanley Cup Final appearance with Dallas in 2020, was hired to help stabilize the team.
