The Vegas Golden Knights fire coach Bruce Cassidy after a disappointing stretch, replacing him with John Tortorella for the remainder of the season and playoffs. General manager Kelly McCrimmon cites a lack of spark among players, leading to a three-game losing streak and a 5-10-2 record since the Olympic break. Captain Mark Stone acknowledges the locker room's stale atmosphere and the need for renewed energy. Tortorella, entering his 24th NHL season as a head coach, aims to jump-start the team without overwhelming players with major changes. He meets with players to instill a sense of urgency as they head into a crucial eight-game stretch. The Golden Knights sit third in the Pacific Division and still hold a playoff position despite recent struggles. Tortorella, previously an assistant coach at the Olympics, brings experience, having led Tampa Bay to a Stanley Cup in 2004.
