Moose forward Lambert named to AHL all-rookie team

A Manitoba Moose forward has been named to the American Hockey League’s all-rookie team.

Brad Lambert, 20, is in his first full campaign with the Moose, and is tied for the team scoring lead with 52 points in 62 games.

The team announced Wednesday that he’ll become only the seventh player in franchise history to be selected for the all-rookie team — joining then-Jets prospects Eddie Pasquale (2011-12), Brenden Kichton (2013-14), Sami Niku (2017-18) and Mason Appleton (2017-18), as well as Kevin Bieksa and Eddie Lack from the previous incarnation of the club.
