Gainey begins second stint behind Canadiens' bench

Mar 10, 2009 - 1:36 PM Edmonton (32-27-6) at Montreal (35-24-7), 7:30 pm EDT

MONTREAL (Ticker) -- General manager Bob Gainey returns to the bench as the Montreal Canadiens host the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday.

The Canadiens fired head coach Guy Carbonneau on Monday, replacing him with Gainey.

Carbonneau was ousted 66 games into his third season with Montreal, which was on pace to make its second consecutive postseason appearance under the former Canadiens captain.

The 48-year-old Carbonneau, a member of the Canadiens for parts of 13 seasons, coached Montreal to a 124-83-23 record in his two-plus seasons behind the bench.

Gainey, also a former player with the Canadiens, has served as the club's general manager since June 2003. The five-time Stanley Cup winner previously served as Montreal's interim head coach for the final 23 regular-season games in 2005-06.

The Oilers, who are wrapping up a four-game road trip, avoided a third straight loss with a 4-1 triumph over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.
