The Flyers replaced coach John Stevens with Peter Laviolette on Friday after the team was shut out in consecutive games, according to an Associated Press report. Laviolette led the Hurricanes to their only Stanley Cup title in 2006. He was fired in December 2008 and was still under contract. Laviolette, who also coached the Islanders for two seasons, was 167-130-30 in his four-plus seasons with Carolina. Flyers GM Paul Holmgren made the call to fire Stevens.
