Lalonde Joins Canadiens Coaching Staff | Montreal Canadiens News

Montreal Canadiens keep quiet on the trade front but make a splash on the bench, bringing in Derek Lalonde to join Martin St. Louis’s coaching staff — a move that signals ambition despite a lack of offseason moves. Lalonde, who recently wrapped up his stint with Toronto and was let go by Detroit, brings championship DNA from his time as an assistant with Tampa Bay’s two Stanley Cup-winning squads. With Trevor Letowski stepping back for family, Lalonde’s arrival could inject playoff-caliber experience into Montreal’s locker room — and fans are watching to see if this quiet offseason turns into a championship push.
