Latest News About Vegas Golden Knights

Here are the latest updates on the Vegas Golden Knights (as of May 2026):

• NHL disciplinary outcome from playoffs media regulations: The team faced penalties for a Game 6 postgame media incident in Anaheim. The league maintained the original penalties, including a $100,000 fine for head coach John Tortorella and the loss of the team’s second-round pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft. This decision effectively closes the door on revoking or reducing those penalties, though teams are reportedly encouraged to stay compliant for potential future reconsiderations.

• Playoff context and lineup implications: With the announced draft-pick penalty, Vegas contends with a tougher draft capital position entering the next rounds. There were reports that Kaedan Korczak could slot in for an injured or suspended player, depending on the series situation against the Colorado Avalanche, while McNabb faced disciplinary action that could affect his availability for Game 6 and beyond.
