The Montreal Canadiens have fired head coach Claude Julien.
After an 8-2-2 start, the Canadiens have been struggling recently, posting a 1-3-2 record in their last 6 games.
Dominique Ducharme has been an assistant with the Canadiens for the past two seasons after seven seasons as a head coach in the QMJHL and two stints as Canada’s head coach in the U20 World Junior Championships.
