Once again, the Canadiens spent a lot of time working on their power during practice Tuesday in Brossard, but this time head coach Claude Julien was in charge.

Associate coach Kirk Muller — with help from assistant Dominique Ducharme — has been in charge of the power play since the beginning of the season and it has been simply brutal. Heading into Wednesday’s game at the Bell Centre against the Arizona Coyotes (7:30 p.m., SN1, RDS, TSN 690 Radio), the Canadiens rank last in the NHL on the power play, with a 12.6 per cent success rate — or, more accurately, an 87.4 per cent failure rate.

The first power-play unit on Tuesday had Shea Weber and Jonathan Drouin on the points with Joel Armia, Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Tomas Tatar up front, while the second unit had Mike Reilly and Jeff Petry with Charles Hudon, Max Domi and Brendan Gallagher.

“During the season, as a head coach you delegate and you also have to trust,” Julien said after practice. “And the people that are in charge, one of them, obviously, in charge or taking the lead there is Kirk and then Dominique is helping him, just like I help Luke (Richardson) with the penalty-kill this year. So we kind of share stuff. But I’m still the guy that has to overlook, I’m still the guy that has to take the responsibility. But if you don’t trust the people around you, then you’ve got the wrong people. That doesn’t mean you can’t jump in, but you’ve got to let them do their work.
