Darryl Sutter Out as Flames GM

Filed under: ,

Calgary Flames general manager Darryl Sutter resigned Tuesday. Assistant Jay Feaster will take over the team on an interim basis.

Sutter, 52, has been with the Flames in some capacity since 2002. He was the team's coach and general manager until 2006, when he stepped aside from the coaching job to concentrate on GM duties.

In 2009, he hired younger brother Brent as head coach, but the Flames have floundered since, missing the playoffs in 2010 and starting poorly this season. Calgary enters Tuesday's games 14th out of 15 teams in the Western Conference, only five points ahead of last-place Edmonton, who has three games in hand on the Flames.

Feaster is best-known for leading the Tampa Bay Lightning organization to their only Stanley Cup title in 2004, when they beat Darryl Sutter's Flames in seven games.
