John Tortorella has informed the Columbus Blue Jackets he won't return to the club after his contract expires this summer, reports The Athletic's Aaron Portzline.

Tortorella has been the team's head coach for six seasons, compiling a 227-166-54 record while reaching the playoffs four times. The Blue Jackets advanced to the second round once under his leadership.

Columbus finished last in the Central Division with an 18-26-12 record, closing out its season with a 5-4 overtime victory against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday.

Tortorella won the Jack Adams Trophy in 2016-17 with the Blue Jackets. He previously won the award in 2004 after coaching the Tampa Bay Lightning to a Stanley Cup victory.
