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.
Lambert, from Lahti, Finland, was also named AHL rookie of the month in March and participated in the league’s 2024 all-star classic.
The playoff-bound Moose next see action Wednesday night against the Milwaukee Admirals.
