SANTA CLARA, Calif.

— The Carolina Hurricanes are parting ways with Brad Daughherty, according to an article in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The paper reported Friday that Daughhers departure comes at a time when the Hurricanes are searching for a coach to take over from Joe Nieuwendyk, who will retire following the season.

Daughhies brother, Josh, played for the Hurricanes last season and was a captain.

Daugherys son, Travis, played the same season with the Hurricanes.

The Hurricanes also have former Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Tyler Ennis as an assistant coach.

Dougherty was a standout for the team at the World Junior Championship and won the Calder Trophy as best defenseman at the tournament in 2014-15.

He had 14 goals and 23 points in 67 games this season.

The team had a record of 15-14-4 this season, including a 3-3-1 record in his first season as a coach.
