The Colorado Avalanche announced Friday that aren't going to renew coach Joel Quenneville's contract, ending his tenure after three seasons.

"After meeting with Joel, we mutually agreed that the best decision for both parties involved is to go separate ways," general manager Francois Giguere said in a statement. "On behalf of the organization, I want to thank Joel for his years of service and wish him the best in his coaching career."

Quenneville was 131-92-23 in three seasons in Denver but just 2-2 in playoff series after inheriting a team that was on the slide after a decade of dominance in the NHL.

The Avs were swept out of the playoffs by the Detroit Red Wings last week, and Giguere faces a huge task this offseason, facing decisions on 13 players who will become unrestricted free agents if they're not re-signed.
