## Resource

Derek Lalonde, ex-assistant coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs, is heading to Montreal to join the Canadiens’ coaching staff — a move that signals a major shakeup after his departure from Toronto, where he was let go alongside fellow assistant Mike Van Ryn. Lalonde brings championship pedigree, having coached the Lightning to back-to-back Cups in 2020-21 and previously helmed the Red Wings before his exit in December 2024. Now, he’s returning to the Atlantic Division for his fourth stint — this time with the Canadiens, who are rebuilding and need his experience to elevate their bench.
