It is reported that the Golden Knights have fired head coach Peter Deboer, first reported by NHL insider Elliotte Friedman on Twitter (@FriedgeHNIC):

And the Vegas Golden Knights confirmed it on their Twitter:

After just being hired on January 15th, 2020, DeBoer led the Knights to a 40-14-2 record In the COVID-shortened 2020-21 season, which tied for the most points in the league with the Colorado Avalanche.
