It didn’t come during the team’s bye week, but after yet another lopsided loss, and with Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes settled into his role, the team has opted to make a change behind the bench.
Multiple reports, including JC Lajoie, Frank Seravalli, and Pierre LeBrun are reporting that Dominique Ducharme has been relieved of his duties as the team’s head coach. The team confirmed that news. His replacement will be announced later today.
The Habs have a record of 8-30-7 this season, and overall Ducharme has a regular season record of 23-46-14 behind the bench since taking over for Claude Julien last season.
