The Los Angeles Kings currently have their eyes on just one head coaching candidate, assistant coach John Stevens.

According to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun, general manager Rob Blake is planning to meet with Stevens and see if he's a fit to take over.

Stevens has been with the Kings since the 2010-11 season and spent four games as the team's interim head coach during the 2011-12 season after Terry Murray was fired and before Darryl Sutter was hired. He went 2-2 as the interim head coach.

Prior to joining the Kings, Stevens served as head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers. He reached the Eastern Conference Final with the Flyers in 2008, his second season with the team. Stevens was fired after a 13-12-1 start to the 2009-10 season. He owns a 122-112-34 record as an NHL head coach.

The Kings fired Sutter on Monday after six seasons with the team. The Kings finished the season 39-35-8, eight points out of a playoff spot.
