NHL Management Turmoil & Roster Moves

Following a season of major disappointment, the Toronto Maple Leafs dismissed general manager Brad Treliving on Monday as the franchise faces its first postseason absence since the 2016-17 campaign. This high-profile firing occurred just as the Vegas Golden Knights surprisingly replaced coach Bruce Cassidy with John Tortorella on Sunday, as GM Kelly McCrimmon cited a loss of "spark" among the players heading into the final stretch. Meanwhile, key personnel returned to action in Pittsburgh, where Sidney Crosby re-entered the lineup after missing one game due to a lower-body ailment, leading the Penguins to a decisive rout of the Islanders.
