NHL Coaches On The Hot Seat

December continues for gambling.com readers. For players, one factor in how they wager hasn't been a factor so far. Speculation has brought us some juicy rumors but little of any substance.

Dallas Eakins is the coach of the worst team in the NHL, Anaheim Ducks. Anaheim is 7-18-3 and has a -50 goal differential.

D.J. Smith is the coach of the Ottawa Senators. The team is struggling on the ice and the management is not willing to make any changes.

Darryl Sutter is the coach of the Calgary Flames. The team is currently on a three-game winning streak.

Bruce Boudreau is the coach of the Vancouver Canucks. Vancouver plays a very entertaining hockey. The team needs to get healthy and improve its penalty kill. Jim Rutherford probably needs a change in the roster.

Dean Evason is seeing his seat cool down at Minnesota Wild. Minnesota is 7-3 in their last 10 games and is three games over .500.

Columbus Blue Jackets are struggling. They lost 6-0 to Buffalo last week. Their players are unhappy with the way they are deployed. Jarmo Kekalainen has said no change is imminent.

St. Louis is struggling to keep up with the league's poor standards.
