BREAKING: Peter Laviolette To Be Named New York Rangers New Head Coach

In three season with the Washington Capitals, Peter Laviolette coached 220 games with a 115-78-27 record. Which is a very solid tenure especially with the state of the the Capitals roster, who were flagged with injuries in the past two seasons.

Sportsnet Insider Elliotte Friedman reported on Monday afternoon that the New York Rangers and Laviolette are «gaining momentum».

It is highly likely that the former Washington Captials head coach who was let go this offseason, will be behind the Rangers bench next season.
