Another week, another coach fired! This time Jim Montgomery was fired for the Dallas Stars for "unprofessional conduct”. Marc Crawford was not fired by the Chicago Blackhawks after he took steps to improve after allegations in early December. And Pete DeBoer was fired for having bad goaltending. Which situation is most likely to lead to success?

Taylor Hall was traded to the Arizona Coyotes. Was the return worth it? And what does it signal for the direction of the New Jersey Devils?

Ilya Kovalchuk and the Los Angeles Kings make an appearance in the Worst of the Week.

The Pavel Bure Must Watch Games of the Week are selected too!
