The Vegas Golden Knights have made a significant coaching change, firing Bruce Cassidy and hiring John Tortorella, whose contract extends through the 2025-26 season but may not be renewed beyond that. Tortorella will lead the team for the remainder of the regular season and potentially the playoffs, with the Knights exploring options like Peter DeBoer or Jay Woodcroft for future coaching needs. In game notes, Boston’s Mason Lohrei is day-to-day with a minor injury, while Columbus’ Mathieu Olivier suffered an upper-body injury, and Dallas’ Michael Bunting is unlikely to return due to a lower-body issue.
