Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving says coach Bill Peters will not coach the team Wednesday night against the Buffalo Sabres.
Associate coach Geoff Ward, who oversaw practice on Tuesday, will handle the coaching duties.
Treliving had no other updates as the investigation continues into the allegation Peters directed racial slurs toward Akim Aliu when he and the Nigerian-born player were in the minors a decade ago.
Treliving says coach Bill Peters remains on the staff but the team and the NHL are both investigating.
Peters has not commented on the allegation.
Treliving understands the seriousness of the allegations and called them ``repugnant'' if true, while adding it's his responsibility to find out exactly what happened.
