Kings interim coach D.J. Smith dodges shattered glass as panel breaks behind LA bench in Game 2

Los Angeles interim coach D.J. Smith quickly ducked when shattered glass fell on him after a pane broke behind the Kings bench Tuesday night in Game 2 against Colorado.

It happened right after Quinton Byfield was stopped on a penalty shot by Avalanche goaltender Scott Wedgewood with 16:48 remaining in the second period.

The glass began to sway as fans pounded on it in excitement and then gave way, with pieces raining on Smith.

He covered his head and then brushed the glass off his suit before heading down the tunnel to the locker room.

He returned a few minutes later.

The Avalanche cleanup crew brought out shovels and buckets to clean up the fragments from the LA bench.
