Blashill, 47, has a 153-194-52 record with the Wings, having taken them to one playoff series — Blashill’s first season in 2015-16 — when the Wings lost to Tampa Bay in five games.

Rick Tocchet (Arizona, 9-1), Paul Maurice (Winnipeg, 10-1), Bob Boughner (San Jose, 12-11), Dallas Eakins (Anaheim, 12-1) and Todd McLellan (Los Angeles, 12-1) follow Blashill as most likely to be fired.
