John Stevens Fired After 1-Plus Season as Los Angeles Kings Head Coach

The Los Angeles Kings reportedly fired head coach John Stevens and assistant coach Don Nachbaur on Sunday, according to the Los Angeles Times' Helene Elliott.

Stevens, who was hired in April 2017, led the Kings to a 45-29-8 finish last season before they were bounced in the first round of the playoffs by the Vegas Golden Knights.

That campaign offered reasons for optimism, but the Kings opened the 2018-19 season 4-8-1 with just nine points over their first 13 games.
