The Los Angeles Kings are in preliminary talks with Peter Laviolette for their head coaching position, with Laviolette also in discussions with other teams. Following the firing of Jim Hiller, D.J. Smith served as interim coach, leading the team to an 11-6-6 record before a first-round playoff exit. The Kings have also sought to interview Bruce Cassidy, though permission from the Vegas Golden Knights has not been granted. Laviolette, a seasoned coach with a Stanley Cup title and numerous accolades, was let go by the New York Rangers after the 2024-25 season.
