Vegas Golden Knights Make Shocking Coaching Switch: Why Bruce Cassidy’s Exit and John Tortorella’s Arrival Could Change Everything
“With the stretch run of the 2025-26 regular season upon us, we believe that a change is necessary for us to return to the level of play that is expected of our club,” McCrimmon said.
Tortorella’s 770 career wins rank second among U.S.-born coaches. He won a Stanley Cup with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2004 but has not coached in the playoffs since 2020, when his Columbus Blue Jackets were bounced from the first round.
His last NHL tenure ended abruptly, having been fired in 2025 by the Philadelphia Flyers with nine games left in the season. However, the team was already out of the playoff picture by the time he was relieved of his post on Broad Street.
