Recap
The Golden Knights lose a 2026 second-round pick and coach Jon Tortorella faces a $100,000 fine.
The NHL upheld sanctions against the Vegas Golden Knights on appeal for repeated media policy violations. Head coach Jon Tortorella was fined $100,000, and the team forfeits a 2026 second-round draft pick. Tortorella, who took over Vegas in 2023, has been a frequent subject of league discipline over media compliance.
The penalties stand as final after the Golden Knights' appeal was denied. The lost pick removes an asset from the team's depth-chart pipeline heading into next season's draft cycle.
