Buffalo Sabres general manager Tim Murray announced today that Dan Lambert has been named head coach of the Rochester Americans, the American Hockey League affiliate of the Sabres. Randy Cunneyworth has been reassigned to a position within the Sabres Player Development department.

“We had a plan in place going into last season to eventually promote Dan to head coach of the Americans and transition Randy back to player development,” said Murray. “With his experience as a Sabres assistant last season, we felt Dan was ready to take on the added responsibility of being a head coach and implementing our organizational philosophy in Rochester.”

Lambert becomes the 31st coach in Amerks franchise history and joins the team after spending the 2015-16 season as an assistant coach with the Buffalo Sabres. Lambert was part of head coach Dan Bylsma’s coaching staff in Buffalo that guided the team to a 27-point improvement in the standings over the previous season.
