Golden Knights coach becomes team’s winningest coach

Vegas Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy became the winningest coach in Golden Knights history following his teams 3-1 victory against the Anaheim Ducks at T-Mobile Arena on Monday.

Cassidy surpassed first-year coach Gerard Gallant with the most wins at 119.

He led the Golden Knights to their first Stanley Cup in the 2022-23 season.

I came here with the intention to help this team win and win a Stanley Cup.

We were able to do that the first year.

Id like to do it again, Cassidy said.

Youre going to end up accumulating some wins along the way.

I got a ton of respect for Turk.

Great coach in this league.

Me and Pete [DeBoer] are good friends.

Were going to be on the Hockey Canada staff.

Another great coach in this league.

Happy to be considered in the same company as those two, to be perfectly honest.

Its a nice individual accomplishment for you.

Most of these ones you appreciate when youre done and look back.

But again, proud of the work weve done here.

Were working on the next one.

The accomplishment wasnt lost on Golden Knights players, such as forward Keegan Kolesar .

He holds us to a high standard, Kolesar said.

Its every day, and thats what we need as a group.

We have a very good group here.

Just as humans, like I said before, sometimes complacency can slip in.

He does a good job of keeping that out of our game.
