TORONTO—Sheldon Keefe is out as coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs, fired Thursday after another early exit from the NHL’s Stanley Cup playoffs.
The move had been expected after Toronto lost to rival Boston in Game 7 last weekend, the fourth time in five years under Mr. Keefe that the team has lost in the first round. The Maple Leafs rebounded from a 3–1 series deficit before losing the seventh game, and have won just one playoff series since Mr. Keefe took over in November 2019.
