Barry Trotz is bringing a familiar face to Brooklyn, as the New York Islanders have named Lane Lambert as associate coach.
Lambert has spent the past four seasons as an assistant to Trotz with the Washington Capitals. The two were also behind the bench with the Nashville Predators for three seasons prior to heading to D.C. in 2014.
The 53-year-old brings a wealth of experience, including two stints as head coach with the WHL's Prince George Cougars and the AHL's Milwaukee Admirals.
In 2016, Lambert interviewed for the Colorado Avalanche's head coaching job before it ultimately went to Jared Bednar.
