Montreal Canadiens head coach Jacques Martin will have a pair of familiar faces joining him behind the bench next season.

The Habs named Pierre Groulx as goaltending coach, replacing Roland Melanson, and Perry Pearn as an assistant coach, in place of Doug Jarvis, on Monday.

Both Groulx and Pearn have worked with the Canadiens' new bench boss and will join fellow assistant coach Kirk Muller.

Groulx spent the past four seasons with the Florida Panthers, where Martin served first as head coach and later as general manager before moving to Montreal.

The new goalie coach also spent five seasons with Martin as the video coach for the Ottawa Senators.

Both new additions have experience at the international level. Groulx was part of the coaching staff for Canada at the 2005 world hockey championship, while Pearn struck gold with Canada three times at the world junior hockey championship, twice as an assistant and once as a head coach.

Pearn spent most the past five seasons as an assistant with the New York Rangers and started in the NHL in Winnipeg as an assistant to Terry Simpson in 1995.
