Each month we’ll give a shout out to one NHL team’s coaching staff for pulling out ahead of the pack.

The month of October 2021 goes to the Carolina Hurricanes coaching staff, including Rod Brind’Amour (Head Coach), Jeff Daniels and Tim Gleason (Assistant Coaches), Paul Schonfelder (Goaltending Coach), and Chris Huffine (Head Video Coach). Congrats on taking the October 2021 Coaching Staff of the Month award!

THE STATS:
8-0-0 record
1.000 Points %
9 Game Win Streak
88.9 Penalty Kill %
28.1 Power Play %
55.3 Face Off %
1 Shutout

How’s the scoring work? We look at 5 categories for how teams are doing:

  1. Wins
  2. Points Percentage
  3. Shutouts
  4. Power Play Percentage
  5. Penalty Kill Percentage

Then we take the top ten teams from each category that month and assign points based on how they finished in that respective category. Combine that with any subjective categories, like a really long winning streak, and we determine which coaching staff is most deserving of the title each month.
