The Columbus Blue Jackets fired head coach Dean Evason and assistant Steve McCarthy on Monday, replacing them with veteran Rick Bowness, who emerged from retirement at age 70. The team, sitting last in the Eastern Conference with a 19-19-7 record, is seven points out of a wild-card spot. Bowness aims to instill defensive structure during a crucial stretch of home games before the Olympic break.
