Daniel Alfredsson lands first coaching job as another coach is fired

The #sens have fired head coach D.J. Smith and replaced him with Jacques Martin on an interim basis.
Daniel Alfredsson has been named an assistant coach
The Senators also relieved a member of Smith's coaching staff.
#Sens also fired assistant coach Davis Payne.
After hiring Martin last week as a special advisor it seemed like only a matter of time before Smith would be out the door and after losing 4 games in a row, enough was enough.
