The LA Kings are revamping their penalty kill with a strategic coaching upgrade, bringing in Chris Hajt — a proven defense guru who built elite units at the Ontario Reign and now aims to transform the Kings’ special teams. With Derik Johnson also on board, Hajt’s mission is clear: turn shorthanded moments into wins by tightening structure, boosting execution, and leveraging his AHL expertise. Last season’s struggles on special teams — where even small margins could’ve swung playoff fate — highlight the urgency. Hajt’s philosophy blends system discipline with player instincts, aiming to make every power play count and shut down opponents — because in hockey, one extra goal can be the difference between winning and losing.
