The Los Angeles Kings announced sweeping changes to their front office Monday, firing longtime GM Dean Lombardi and head coach Darryl Sutter in the process.
Assistant GM Rob Blake was promoted to GM while longtime Kings business executive Luc Robitaille was named team president.
The changes come after the Kings missed the playoffs for the second time in three years. They haven't won a playoff round since winning the Stanley Cup in June 2014.
Lombardi was let go after 11 years at the helm, building a team that won the Kings their first two Stanley Cups in franchise history, both with Sutter behind the bench.
