EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Kings have hired Peter Laviolette as their new head coach, signaling a shift towards a more offensive style of play after struggling to score in recent seasons. General manager Ken Holland emphasized the need for an aggressive approach, aiming to enhance the team’s lagging offense, while Laviolette, known for his playoff success, is eager to work with players like Artemi Panarin and Kevin Fiala. With a focus on consistent scoring, Laviolette aims to revitalize the team’s performance and potentially lead them to another deep playoff run.
