How Successful Is Your Coach With The Coach’s Challenge?

Starting in the 2015-2016 season, the NHL instituted a new rule allowing coaches to challenge certain scoring plays. Specifically, coaches would be provided with one challenge that would allow them to challenge if a scoring play was offsides or involved goaltender interference. The penalty for a failed challenge was loss of the team’s timeout, although this was later revised to a minor penalty for a failed offsides challenge prior to the 2017-2018 season. Finally, the league automatically reviews all goals scored in the final minute of regulation and overtime.
