Barry Trotz might lose an important part of his coaching staff to another team.
According to Sportsnet, the Anaheim Ducks are scheduled to interview New York Islanders associate coach Lane Lambert as part of their search for a new head coach.
Lambert is among the top candidates that could replace Randy Carlyle, who was let go from his job last season after a gigantic losing streak that saw the team drop to 21-26-9 through 56 games.
The 54-year old, who was also on Trotz’s coaching staff back in his days with the Nashville Predators, has no NHL head coaching experience but was previously a head coach with the Predators’ AHL affiliate Milwaukee Admirals from 2006-2011.
