Possible Ducks coaching candidates to replace Bruce Boudreau

Ducks general manager Bob Murray figures to take a good look at several candidates to replace Bruce Boudreau, who was fired Friday after five seasons with the team.

Among them:

• Paul MacLean and Trent Yawney, the Ducks’ assistant coaches who orchestrated the team’s NHL-leading power-play and penalty-killing units during the regular season.

• Dallas Eakins, coach of the Ducks’ American Hockey League affiliate in San Diego whose stint with the Edmonton Oilers did not go well at all.

• Travis Green, a former Ducks player who has been coaching the Utica Comets of the AHL and his said to be ready to take the next step.

• Guy Boucher, a former Tampa Bay Lightning coach who was coaching in Switzerland until he was fired last fall.

• Marc Crawford, a former Kings, Avalanche and Canucks coach who also was coaching in Switzerland until he was let go last month.
