As of March 30, 2025, there are no official reports confirming that New York Rangers General Manager Chris Drury has suspended head coach Peter Laviolette due to allegations of illegal involvement. However, Laviolette’s position has been under scrutiny following the team’s recent performance downturn.
In December 2024, the Rangers experienced a significant decline, losing seven of ten games and falling to sixth place in the Metropolitan Division. This slump intensified discussions about Laviolette’s future with the team.
Further reports from December 2024 indicated that the team’s core players had lost confidence in Laviolette, leading to a fractured environment lacking structure and accountability. Such internal issues suggested that a coaching change was imminent.
Additionally, in early December 2024, sources indicated that Laviolette was on the hot seat due to the team’s poor performance, with potential replacements being considered.
While these reports highlight the challenges faced by Laviolette and the Rangers, there has been no official confirmation of his suspension or dismissal as of this date.
