The decision just before the start of the season to swap the special teams assignments between the existing assistant coaches seemed like an odd decision.

The possession style that has been adopted my Michel Therrien and co. has the Montreal Canadiens as one of the top four teams in five-versus-five shot-attempts-for percentage (at 53.3%), and that has translated to the man disadvantage, as well.
