League-wide Hot Seat

Who's sitting on the burner

Every NHL head coach through a thermal camera. Heat comes from the season and the last ten games, and it builds the longer a coach has had the job.

    How the heat is scored

    
              

    Our number, not a prediction. It is not a betting line and it is not inside information. It just turns results and tenure into one temperature.

    Results drive it. The season's points percentage counts for more than the last ten games. A strong team scores zero no matter who is coaching.

    Tenure turns it up. A coach hired this summer gets half the heat of a three-year coach with the same record. Owners rarely fire someone months into the job.
