Vancouver appointed Bruce Boudreau as head coach last season, but it was too late. The legendary mentor made immediate progress from his charges, but they could not make the playoffs. There was no doubt that the team would perform successfully in the current regular season, but in fact, they always were outside the trophy top eight, and with the manager, they decided to say goodbye. Richard Tocchet, under whom the Blue-Green played great: they won seven victories in the last eight meetings. Vancouver remains in 12th place in the Western Conference.

Vegas Golden Knights

For the first time in the club's history, Vegas didn't make it to the playoffs last season, so the club's management took care of a change of head coach, appointing Bruce Cassidy. Under the new coach, the Knights began to show tremendous results and remained in first place in the Western Conference standings. Now the Black and Gold are also in great shape, as evidenced by their latest games: in the previous ten battles, they had eight wins, and the only losses were to Florida and Calgary - 1:2 and 2:7, respectively.
