LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Just one day after he announced another coaching change for the Vegas Golden Knights, General Manager Kelly McCrimmon is holding a press conference Wednesday morning.

Tuesday morning, McCrimmon said John Tortorella would not return to the team’s coaching staff following the 2025-26 season. Tortorella stepped in with only eight games left in the regular season after Bruce Cassidy was fired from the head coaching position in March.

While his time with the team was short, Tortorella would end up leading the Guys in Gold to their third Stanley Cup run in the franchise's nine-year history, ultimately falling in Game 6 against the Carolina Hurricanes.
