Maple Leafs add former Islanders head coach Lambert to Berube’s staff
TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs have hired former New York Islanders head coach Lane Lambert as an associate coach on Craig Berube’s staff.
The 59-year-old Lambert posted a 61-46-20 record as Islanders head coach.
He was promoted from associate coach after Barry Trotz was fired following the 2021-22 season and led the Islanders to the playoffs the following campaign, where they lost to Carolina in the first round.
He was fired midway through the 2023-24 season and replaced with Patrick Roy.
