The Pittsburgh Penguins have fired president of hockey operations Brian Burke, general manager Ron Hextall and assistant general manager Chris Pryor, the team announced Friday.

The decision to part ways with the trio comes days after the Penguins failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in 16 seasons. The last time the Penguins didn't reach the postseason came in the 2005-06 season, which was captain Sidney Crosby's rookie campaign.
