Vegas loses second-round pick in this summer's NHL draft, coach John Tortorella fined $100,000

Vegas loses its second-round pick in this summer's NHL draft. In addition, coach John Tortorella was fined for violating the league's media rules.

It was after the 5-1 win over Anaheim that Tortorella refused to answer questions from the media. He was fined $100,000.

The team also reportedly refused to let media into the locker room after the victory that secured advancement to the Stanley Cup semifinals.

Vegas said in a statement that the club is aware of the decision and will not be making any further comments. The penalty can be appealed on the spot to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman next week.
