NEW YORK -- Longtime coach Benoit Allaire was hired Thursday as the New York Rangers' director of goaltending, one of several moves by new general manager Chris Drury to reshape the hockey operations department.
Drury also promoted Jeff Malcolm to Hartford Wolf Pack goaltending coach, named Jean-Ian Filiatrault as the goaltending consultant in the player development department and hired Matt Hunwick to work in the hockey operations' player development department.
Allaire will oversee the development of goaltenders throughout the organization. He will continue to be based in New York and will remain the Rangers' head goaltending coach.
