MONTREAL (AP) -- The Montreal Canadiens fired coach Michel Therrien on Friday after hockey's most storied franchise won just two of its last 12 games.
He was replaced by Claude Julien, coach of the Canadiens' AHL affiliate. Therrien succeeded Alain Vigneault as coach in November 2000.
The firing came after losses in Atlanta and Philadelphia this week in which the Canadiens scored just one goal and were outshot badly in both games.
The Canadiens are fourth in the Northeast Division at 18-19-4-5 and in 10th place in the Eastern Conference.
