On Sunday, the Los Angeles Kings fired their now-former head coach, Jim Hiller. D.J. Smith has been named the Kings’ interim head coach for the remainder of the season, and Kings player development coach Matt Greene will join Smith as an assistant coach.
The Kings enter Sunday in fifth place in the Pacific Division and three points back of the Seattle Kraken for both fourth place in the division and the second wild card spot in the Western Conference.
It’s also noteworthy that the Kings made the blockbuster trade for Artemi Panarin just before the Olympic break, but then lost Kevin Fiala for the rest of the year during the Olympics and Andrei Kuzmenko for the foreseeable future to an injury this past week as games began again.
This comes just five days before the NHL Trade Deadline — in the final season of Anže Kopitar’s Hall of Fame career.
