LAKingsInsider.com reports The Los Angeles Kings have fired head coach Terry Murray and replaced him with John Stevens on an interim basis.

The Kings have a 13-12-4 record despite Jonathan Quick’s brilliant play this season. Ultimately their problem has been their offense, which largely hasn’t clicked. Their major off-season acquisition, Mike Richards was doing well before he suffered a concussion, but Dustin Brown and Justin Williams have both suffered a noticeable drop off in production. Drew Doughty has also declined significantly this season with just eight points in 24 contests. The Kings are last in the NHL with just 65 goals scored and just Richards and Anze Kopitar have more than eight goals. We’ll see if Stevens, who previously served as the Philadelphia Flyers’ head coach when Richards and Simon Gagne were on the team, will be the answer.
