Final
Senators hoping for win in Clouston's debut
Feb 3, 2009 - 3:18 PM Los Angeles (20-21-7)_at Ottawa (17-24-7), 7:30 pm ESTOTTAWA (Ticker) -- The Ottawa Senators will not have Craig Hartsburg to blame if they lose this one.
Cory Clouston will make his debut behind the Senators' bench on Tuesday, when the team squares off against the Los Angeles Kings.
Ottawa on Monday finally pulled the plug on Hartsburg, whose job reportedly had been in jeopardy for weeks. Sitting last in the Northeast Division, the Senators fired Hartsburg just 48 games into his first season as the team's coach.
It was the second time in as many seasons that Ottawa fired its coach during the season.
The coach of the Senators' American Hockey League affiliate in Binghamton, Clouston will guide the club for the remainder of the season. Clouston led Binghamton to a 25-16-3 record in his second season.
Hartsburg's ouster comes one day after the Senators suffered a 7-4 defeat at Washington to drop. Ottawa has lost 17 of its last 24 games, scored a league-low 116 goals and is 14 points out of a playoff spot.
The Kings had their three-game winning streak snapped Saturday, suffering a 4-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens.
