The NHL sanctioned Vegas and its coach for what it called flagrant violations of media obligations.
The NHL fined John Tortorella $100,000 and stripped the Golden Knights of a draft pick Friday for what the league termed flagrant violations of media availability rules. Tortorella declined to speak with the media following Thursday night's game, triggering the league's enforcement action against both the coach and the franchise.
The penalty marks an unusually severe response to media-access violations. Specific details of Tortorella's conduct were not disclosed in the league's announcement. The Golden Knights are currently in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
