LONDON -- Wolverhampton Wanderers fired manager Mick McCarthy on Monday, a day after a humiliating drubbing by its local rival left the club fighting to preserve its Premier League status. The former Ireland coachs final match in charge of Wolves was Sundays 5-1 home loss to fellow Midlands team West Bromwich Albion, a fifth straight home defeat in all competitions that plunged the team back into the relegation zone with 13 matches remaining this season. McCarthy, who joined Wolves in 2006, became the third manager to lose his job in the Premier League this season -- after Steve Bruce at Sunderland in December and Neil Warnock at Queens Park Rangers last month. "Im afraid the board thought we had little or no choice," Wolves owner Steve Morgan said. "Micks a good guy and the decision was taken extremely regretfully, but results have not been good enough this season." McCarthy, who played 57 times for Ireland and coached his national team at the 2002 World Cup, took charge of Wolves when they were in the second-tier League Championship and led them to promotion in 2009. Wolves is currently 18th in the 20-team standings, two points above bottom team Wigan. "Wolves has historically been one of the great clubs in English football," Morgan said. "Hanging around the bottom few places and relegation is not what this club is about. "We need to pick ourselves up and be aiming up the league and hopefully thats what the new man will take us forward with. We have ambitions and fighting relegation is not one of those ambitions." Chief executive Jez Moxey said Wolves hope to announce a successor to McCarthy before the clubs next league game, against Newcastle on Feb. 25. Terry Connor, Wolves assistant manager, will take charge of the first team in the meantime. McCarthy, who was a tough-tackling defender as a player and is renowned for his bluntness and honesty as a manager, apologized Sunday for the teams lacklustre display against West Brom at Molineux, which led to a small demonstration by fans after the game. "I really feel it is a privilege to have managed such a great club and Ive had the best of times," McCarthy said in a statement. British bookmakers installed former Liverpool and Inter Milan coach Rafael Benitez and Alan Curbishley, who managed West Ham between 2006-08, as the favourites to replace McCarthy. Bruce and Warnock have also been linked with the post. "This is not a situation where a manager will come in with an open checkbook and be able to buy his way to success," Morgan said. "He will have to do it the way this club is run, sensibly, prudently, and we understand that is a difficult ask to find that character." Wolves, who only secured their Premier League status last season on the final weekend, have the Premier Leagues leakiest defence at home and have been over-reliant on goals from top scorer Steven Fletcher.

When it comes to Teemu Selanne, the best tends to happen. Selanne took Beleskeys feed and beat Pittsburghs Marc-Andre Fleury with a nifty backhand midway through the third period to lift the surging Ducks past the Penguins 2-1 on Wednesday night. "Theres a reason hes got a jillion goals in this league," Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said. Maybe not a jillion, but hes getting there. Selannes 19th of the season was also the 656th of his career, tying him with Brendan Shanahan for 12th place on the NHL list. It came a night after Boudreau sat the veteran for much of the third period in a 2-1 victory over Minnesota. The benching was an effort to preserve Selannes 41-year-old legs for the rest of Anaheims eight-game road trip. He certainly looked fresh Wednesday when the Ducks snapped Pittsburghs six-game, home-winning streak. "This game was huge for us," Selanne said. "We got here at like three in the morning. They came out pretty hard and controlled the first period and then we got into the game. This team is playing with a lot of confidence right now, and even though we got behind we believed we could come back." Corey Perry added his 28th goal for the Ducks, and Jonas Hiller made 25 saves as Anaheim won in Pittsburgh for the first time in 11 years. The Ducks are 14-3-3 since New Years Day, tied with Detroit for the most points in the NHL over that stretch. "We really didnt get too many good opportunities, and when we did, those shots didnt go through," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. Evgeni Malkin, the NHLs leading scorer, was held pointless for the second time this month, and his eight-game goal streak at home ended, too. Jordan Staal scored for Pittsburgh, but the Penguins high-flying offence was bottled up over the last two periods. "We got lucky and (Malkin) didnt score," Boudreau said. While the Ducks hadnt won in Pittsburgh since 2001, Boudreau made it a habit while behind the bench for the Washington Capitals. Washington dominated the regular-season series with the Penguins, beating Pittsburgh eight straight times during his tenure before he was fired in December. The Consol Energy Center crowd hadnt forgotten, booing Boudreau loudly when the in-house camera panned to him in the first period. Boudreau and the Ducks got the last laugh, thanks in part to a 10-time all-star who is still getting it done in the twilight of his career. Selanne gave the Ducks the lead after he took a long pass from Matt Beleskey and backhanded a shot past Fleury 7:51 into the third.dddddddddddd Hiller made the goal stand up, though he had help from a defence that held Pittsburgh to 26 shots, eight below its average. For the first 40 minutes or so, however, it looked as though one goal would be enough for the Penguins to extend their winning streak. Though Pittsburgh has been nearly unbeatable at home lately, the Penguins often had to come back to do it. The Penguins trailed 2-0 in each of their previous two games before rallying. This time they were on the other end. Staal, playing in his third game after missing six weeks with a left knee injury, gave Pittsburgh an early lead when a turnover led to a 2-on-1 break with Matt Cooke. Staal faked a pass to Cooke and then fired a shot over Hillers stick side for his 17th goal of the season and second since his return last weekend. "I felt like we were in control of the game but we made too many turnovers," Staal said. "Theyve got a lot of skilled players and theyre going to find some ways to get some goals." Pittsburgh had several chances to push the lead to 2-0, the best coming from Malkin early in the second when he hit the left post and the crossbar with a wrister from about 15 feet. It was one of the rare times in recent weeks when the Russian failed to deliver when given a prime scoring chance. Fleury kept the lead intact until late in the second, robbing Cam Fowler with his glove and then stuffing Niklas Hagman on a short-handed breakaway. Anaheim finally broke through with less than a minute to play in the period when Perry deked Zbynek Michalek and then fired a low wrist shot past Fleury from in close for his fifth goal in three games. It set the stage for Selanne, whose goal pushed Anaheim (24-24-9) -- the 13-place team in the Western Conference -- within six points of the post-season cutoff. "We had the group in here to play like this all season," Anaheims Ryan Getzlaf said. "For whatever reason the start of the season was just tough for us, and we couldnt get it done. Weve found a way now, and were rallying around our coach and rallying around each other." NOTES: The Ducks will continue their road trip on Friday at New Jersey.
