Calgary Flames head coach Ryan Huska has emerged as the betting favorite to become the first NHL coach fired this season, according to BonusFinder market odds. Huska is listed at +125, giving him an implied probability of 44.4% to be dismissed first following Calgary's difficult start to the campaign.
