The Toronto Maple Leafs will interview Patrick Roy and Peter Laviolette for their heading coaching vacancy this week.
Roy led the New York Islanders to a 42-31-5 record this year before being fired with four games left in the season in favor of Peter DeBoer. Roy coached the Islanders for three seasons. In 2024, he guided them to the playoffs, where they lost to the Carolina Hurricanes in Round 1.
The Hall of Fame goaltender previously coached the Colorado Avalanche from 2013-16. He won the Jack Adams Award in 2014 for leading an upstart Avalanche squad to a 112-point season and a playoff appearance. However, Colorado failed to make the postseason in his final two years with the club.
