Appeal fails as Knights keep sanctions: Tortorella fined, second-round pick forfeited

TL;DR Summary
The NHL upheld sanctions against the Vegas Golden Knights for a flagrant media-policy violation, keeping a $100,000 fine for coach John Tortorella and the loss of a 2026 second-round draft pick; the decision followed Tortorella’s postgame media snub and related access violations, despite the team’s in-person appeal.
