Julien, 59, is in his third full season since taking over as a mid-season replacement for Michel Therrien on Feb. 24, 2017. The Habs made the playoffs that year, but missed the postseason in 2017-18 and 2018-19. The team currently sits on 69 points, fifth in the Atlantic Division, nine points behind the Toronto Maple Leafs for the final divisional playoff spot and nine behind the Columbus Blue Jackets for the second Eastern Conference wild-card spot.

In his first stint with the Habs from 2002-03 to 2005-06, Julien coached in 159 games, going 72-62-10-15 until he was fired halfway through the season and replaced by then-GM Bob Gainey. Prior to his second tenure with the Habs, Julien coached the New Jersey Devils and Boston Bruins. He notably spent 10 seasons behind the bench with the Bruins, winning a Stanley Cup in 2011 with another Stanley Cup Final appearance in 2013, where they lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in six games.

Julien won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL’s coach of the year in 2009. He also won a gold medal as an assistant coach with Team Canada at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. He began his coaching career in the QMJHL for the Hull Olympiques, where he won the 1997 Memorial Cup.
