Latest News About Vegas Golden Knights Coach

Updated 2026-05-14 19:04

Bruce Cassidy was fired as Vegas Golden Knights head coach in March 2026 and John Tortorella was named interim head coach for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. This was followed by Tortorella taking over duties as the Knights aimed to finish strong and pursue a playoff spot. The move was announced by general manager Kelly McCrimmon and reported by multiple outlets at that time [sources indicate the team’s coaching staff changes and Tortorella’s appointment].

If you want, I can pull the latest updates from reputable outlets and summarize any developments since then (e.g., whether Tortorella remained head coach beyond 2026, any subsequent coaching changes, or playoff outcomes).
