The Rangers’ Goaltending Guru, Benoit Allaire, is scaling back his workload.
Allaire will continue to serve as the organization’s director of goaltending, but the well-respected 60-year-old has opted to no longer serve as the club’s goalie coach on a day-to-day basis, according to a source.
This was Allaire’s decision as he wraps up his 20th year with the Rangers, who plan to lean on him during their process of finding a new goaltending coach.

Word is Allaire will still be heavily involved in working with all the goaltenders in the organization, as well as prospects.
ESPN’s and NHL Network’s Kevin Weekes was the first to report the possibility of Allaire scaling back.
