BUFFALO, New York (AP) The Buffalo Sabres have fired coach Ron Rolston and rehired Ted Nolan to replace him.
Sabres owner Terry Pegula also announced on Wednesday that he fired general manager Darcy Regier and hired Pat LaFontaine as president of hockey operations.
The Sabres have won four of 20 NHL games, the worst start in franchise history. Buffalo edged Los Angeles 3-2 in a shootout on Tuesday to avoid tying the worst home start in NHL history.
Rolston was 19-6-26 in his brief tenure as Buffalo coach. Regier had been the Sabres general manager since 1997.
Nolan was the Sabres coach from 1995-97.
