COLUMBUS, Ohio—The Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday fired Coach Pascal Vincent after just one season.

The Blue Jackets went 27–43–12 last season, and their 66 points were the fewest in the NHL’s Eastern Conference. The change comes less than three weeks after Don Waddell took over as general manager and president of hockey operations.
