The Anaheim Ducks won't renew head coach Dallas Eakins' contract after they finished in last place of the league this season, the team announced Friday.

"This was a very difficult decision, one that comes after careful and considerable deliberation," general manager Pat Verbeek said in a statement. "At the end of the day, I simply feel that a fresh perspective and new voice will be beneficial for the team."

The Ducks ended the campaign with a 23-47-12 record.

More to come.
