John Tortorella leads the Golden Knights into the Stanley Cup Final against the Hurricanes on June 2. Tortorella, who took over a struggling team in late March, has guided them to a 19-4-1 record since his hiring. This is a notable achievement, placing him among a select group of coaches to reach a Stanley Cup Final with such a limited number of games with the team. His tenure has not been without controversy, as the NHL fined him for media protocol violations during the playoffs. As Tortorella prepares for the Final, uncertainty surrounds his future with the Golden Knights, as he is not under contract beyond the series.
