The 2012–13 Montreal Canadiens season will be the 104th season of play for the franchise that was founded on December 4, 1909. However, it will only be their 96th season in the National Hockey League. The regular season was reduced from its usual 82 games to 48 due to a lockout.

Off-season

After a disappointing 2011–12 season, the Canadiens started over in the front office. Marc Bergevin was named the new general manager on May 2, 2012.[2] Rick Dudley was then named as the assistant general manager.[3] The search then began for a new head coach and on June 5, Michel Therrien was named the new head coach. This will be Therrien's second stint as the Canadiens head coach (previously coached team from 2000–2003)[4] Scott Mellanby was hired as the Director of Player Personnel[5] and Randy Cunneyworth and Randy Ladouceur were relieved of their assistant coaching duties. [6] Some other hockey operations changes included the hiring of Martin Lapointe as Director of Player Development, Patrice Brisebois was hired as a Player Development Coach and on June 15, Gerard Gallant, J.J. Daigneault and Clement Jodoin were added to Montreal's coaching staff as assistant coaches.

Montreal held the 3rd overall pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft and selected Alex Galchenyuk from the Sarnia Sting.
