MONTREAL – Former Montreal forward Phil Goyette, who won the Stanley Cup four times with the Canadiens over his 16-year NHL career, has died, the team said Sunday.
He was 92.
Goyette, a native of Lachine, Que., made his debut with the Canadiens in 1956-57 and won the Cup in each of his first four seasons.
He later played for the New York Rangers, Buffalo Sabres and St. Louis Blues.
Goyette died Saturday, the Canadiens said in a statement. There were no details on the cause of death.
Goyette, who won the Lady Byng Trophy in 1970, recorded 674 points (207-467) over 940 career regular-season games. He added 46 points (17-29) over 94 career playoff games.
After retiring as a player, Goyette became the first head coach of the New York Islanders in 1972-73.
The expansion team posted a 6-40-4 record with Goyette at the helm. He was replaced nearly four months into the season by Earl Ingarfield.
