Vegas Golden Knights fire coach Cassidy, name Tortorella as replacement with eight games left.

The Vegas Golden Knights fired head coach Bruce Cassidy on Sunday and replaced him with John Tortorella with eight games remaining in the 2025-26 season. The move aims to spark a turnaround after a recent six-game losing streak and the team's lowest points percentage in franchise history. Tortorella, a Stanley Cup-winning coach with extensive experience, takes over as the team, currently third in the Pacific Division, faces the Vancouver Canucks on Monday.
