Kings' Interim Coach Smith Chases Stanley Cup Dream
Description
D.J. Smith, a lifelong hockey fan from Windsor, Ontario, is now the interim head coach for the Los Angeles Kings, leading them in their first-round series against the Colorado Avalanche. After taking over from Jim Hiller, Smith guided the Kings to a wild-card spot, earning praise from players for his fresh energy and aggressive approach. In Game one, the Kings won special teams and limited Colorados stars. Looking ahead to Game two, Smith plans to increase net pressure, physicality on defense, and harder forechecks. If the Kings can win this series, Smiths interim label could become a thing of the past, making these playoffs legendary for the hockey lifer.
