--Carolina Hurricanes head coach Bill Peters has resigned, the team announced Friday.
Peters went 137-138-53 in his four seasons with the Hurricanes, who missed the Stanley Cup playoffs for the ninth consecutive season -- the longest drought in the NHL.

It is believed Peters will become the new head coach of the Calgary Flames as early as Monday.
