Clouston and assistant coaches Greg Carvel and Brad Lauerwas were fired after Ottawa lost 3-1 to the Bruins in the regular-season finale in Boston on Saturday.
The 41-year-old Clouston, hired in February 2009, was 95-83-20 with the Senators and led them to the playoffs last season. Ottawa took a big step back this season, finishing near the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a 32-40-10 record.
The firings come one day after general manager Bryan Murray received a three-year contract extension.
