TORONTO -- The Montreal Canadiens' coaching change has not had an immediate impact on improving the struggling team's performance.
Since Claude Julien, who himself was fired by the Boston Bruins, took over from Michel Therrien, the Canadiens are 1-2-0 and have scored a total of four goal.
The latest loss was 3-0 to the New York Islanders Thursday.
The Canadiens will try to start moving in the right direction Saturday night when they play the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Air Canada Centre.
"(The Maple Leafs) got a lot of first-round picks that were early picks, and it makes a big difference," Julien said after practice on Friday.
