The Vegas Golden Knights are off to the second round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Vegas clinched its series against the Utah Mammoth thanks to a 5-1 victory in Game 6. With the win, the Golden Knights will now face the Anaheim Ducks for a spot in the West Final.
Vegas’ current roster features two former members of the Vancouver Canucks. John Tortorella is the biggest name, as he has had a significant impact since taking over as head coach before the post-season. As for players, Ben Hutton is the only former skater, but he has yet to play in the playoffs.
