The Vegas Golden Knights are currently leading the Stanley Cup final series 1-0 against the Carolina Hurricanes. Since their 2017 NHL debut, they have been among the top teams, winning the championship in 2023. Their success is largely attributed to a ruthless front office that has made aggressive coaching and roster decisions.

Under Tortorella, the team has gone 20-4-1 and secured a spot in the championship round. Looking ahead, the Golden Knights remain focused on extending their series lead.
