Episode Details

The Kings just hired Peter Laviolette, a proven playoff coach with a 2016 Cup ring and two other Finals runs, bringing his high-octane, forecheck-heavy style to a team primed for a breakthrough. With 24 NHL seasons under his belt, Laviolette’s aggressive system should mesh perfectly with the Kings’ existing possession game — and could finally push them past the first round. But the real test? Fixing the power play, which has cratered since Newell Brown’s arrival. Laviolette’s vision doesn’t align with Brown’s slow, east-to-west approach — expect a major shake-up as the new coach brings his own staff in.
