Golden Knights hope for NHL postseason return under new head coach

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com.

One year after missing the playoffs for the first time in the franchise’s existence, the Vegas Golden Knights are eyeing a return with their third coach in six seasons.

Bruce Cassidy replaced Peter DeBoer after both were fired from their respective jobs after last season.

Cassidy arrives from Boston, where he had a 245-108-46 record and led the Bruins to six straight playoff appearances.

DeBoer was dismissed May 16 after Vegas missed the playoffs for the first time in franchise history.

Vegas added veteran Phil Kessel to bolster the offense, which took a hit when Max Pacioretty was traded to Carolina to make room under the salary cap.

Owner Bill Foley proclaimed, "Playoffs in three, Cup in six" before the team’s inaugural campaign, which adds a bit of pressure to Cassidy’s first season, which will also be Vegas’ sixth in the NHL.

EICHEL'S HEALTH

Jack Eichel, who in November became the first NHL player to undergo artificial disk replacement surgery on his neck, enjoyed a normal offseason and came into training camp healthy for the first time since the 2019-20 campaign.

"It’s nice to be healthy and have nice peace of mind that I knew where I would be come September and I’d have my health and have an opportunity to have a training camp and preseason and build towards a regular season," said Eichel, who had 14 goals and 11 assists in 34 games with Vegas last season.
