SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Eric Mangini is back in the NFL -- and back to his coaching roots. The former coach of the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets was introduced as a senior offensive consultant for the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday, one day after he formally began his new job with the defending NFC champions. While the move surprised many around the NFL because Manginis background is on defence, the 42-year-old spent his first two seasons in the NFL working as an offensive assistant. So after working as an analyst at ESPN for the past two years, Mangini is diving into his new gig with the hope of helping quarterback Colin Kaepernick and Co. take the next step after losing to the Baltimore Ravens 34-31 in the Super Bowl in February. "To be able to do something new like this is really exciting. To be able to do it in a place like San Francisco, to me that was a big part of wanting to come back," said Mangini following the 49ers two-hour OTA practice. "I just want to help. Whatever that means, whatever that evolves into, the most important thing to me is to help." Just how the former Browns and Jets head coach ended up on Jim Harbaughs staff in San Francisco is almost as interesting as the new job the 49ers created for him. Mangini had never met Harbaugh until last September when the 49ers -- in the midst of back-to-back games near the East Coast -- stayed in Youngstown, Ohio to practice rather than flying back to California. Mangini attended one of the workouts and struck up a friendship with Harbaugh. The two men stayed in contact until meeting together two weeks ago, and shortly thereafter Harbaugh reached out with a job offer. "I feel like we added a really talented, knowledgeable coach," Harbaugh said. "Hell look at how defences prepare for us and where we can attack defences. Thats what his role will be." Mangini had been out of the NFL since being fired by the Browns in January 2011 following a pair of 5-11 seasons. That came only two years after he lost his job in New York. Mangini coached the Jets from 2006-08, leading them to the playoffs in his first season with the team. The time off from coaching helped give Mangini a different perspective on football -- and life. "Ive got three little boys so it gave me a chance to spend time with them and to just get refreshed," Mangini said. "But I missed it. I missed the competition, the strategy, the guys." Although he has spent the majority of his coaching career on defence -- Mangini was the defensive co-ordinator for New England in 2005 -- he spent his first two seasons in the NFL working as an offensive assistant with Cleveland and Baltimore. With the 49ers, Mangini will break down opposing defences as an advance scout and will aid Harbaugh in developing game plans each week. His first order of business will be finding a place to live. Mangini has been staying at a local hotel since getting hired and has yet to bring his wife and children to the Bay Area. Once thats done, Mangini will initially immerse himself in San Franciscos offence before starting to scout teams on the 49ers 2013 schedule. "This is a good system. They went to the Super Bowl last year, they went to the NFC championship the year before," Mangini said. "Theyre doing so many things right I just want to find a way to complement them." Harbaugh says Manginis role with the 49ers will be "evolving" and left open the possibility it could lead to some on-field coaching as well. That, along with his new title as an offensive assistant, fits well with Manginis desire to be a head coach in the NFL again. "I think thats going to make me a lot better overall coach because it gives you a totally different perspective," Mangini said. "Thats definitely a goal of mine. Right now I want to do what I can do here as well as I can do it. But I think its every coachs goal to eventually (be a head coach)."

MONTREAL -- Canadiens coach Michel Therrien found one line that works. Now hes hoping his latest shuffling of the remaining cards gets the other three going.While the top line of left winger Paul Byron, center Alex Galchenyuk and right winger Alexander Radulov remained intact, Therrien tinkered with the rest of his forward units. The most notable change came in between wingers Max Pacioretty and Andrew Shaw, with Torrey Mitchell getting the nod.Its the latest in an effort to get Pacioretty going. The Canadiens captain recorded 13 points in 19 games so far this season, but only four have been goals and have been largely spread out. Its an unusual stretch for the left wing, who typically scores in bunches. Mitchell will be the fifth pivot hes skated with this year.Im excited to play with Torrey; hes one of the guys I havent played with yet, Pacioretty said after practice on Monday. Hes got great energy and hes a great skater so well see if we can put something together (against Ottawa).Im trying to do whatever I can to help the team win, he added. Every night its going to be different, and Im excited for a new challenge.The other changes saw Phillip Danault move to Tomas Plekanecs left wing while David Desharnais, who had been with Pacioretty and Shaw of late, will center the fourth line with rookie Charles Hudon and 27-year-old Chris Terry.Montreals top unit leads the way offensively, in large part due to the chemistry between Radulov and Galchenyuk, as well as their individual talents. Together with the speedy and versatile Byron, the trio accounted for six goals in five games together, while getting scored upon just once.The 22-year-old Galchenyuk leads the Canadiens (14-3-2) with 19 points on the season.Hes capable of scoring goals, hes got great hands, gifted hands, Therrien said. He works extremely hard after practice on his release. Players who have success, even if youre gifted offensively, it doesnt just show up just like that. This kid works extremely hard and thats the reason hes got the results.Senators coach Guy Boucher is hoping hiss teams offense starts to find its way soon.dddddddddddd The team scored two goals or fewer -- excluding shootout tallies -- in 12 straight games, going 6-5-1 during that stretch. It hasnt been for a lack of effort, however, with at least 30 shots on goal in eight of those outings, including 40 in Saturdays loss to Florida.When I looked at our game (against the Panthers), we attempted 83 shots on net, 40 shots, we had 26 scoring chances, he said told reporters before the team headed to Montreal. You cant get more, you cant get better quality; its just from there, weve got to continue improving our work around the net.We just need to bear down around the net, especially on those rebounds, he continued. Got to make sure we lift the puck up. A lot of them were on pads in the last games. Just have to improve our finishing, thats clear.That includes on the power play, which has converted just twice on 32 opportunities in November. At the other end, however, the penalty kill has been tough to beat, denying all 24 opposing power plays this month. In fact, the Senators (10-7-1) havent allowed a power-play goal against since Oct. 22.Ottawa could get some help on Tuesday night as Mike Hoffman could return after missing the past two games with a groin injury. While the winger was held off the scoresheet in his previous five games, his potential return would be a welcome boost, with the club also forced to play without Bobby Ryan, who has been sidelined since Nov. 8 after suffering an injury against the Nashville Predators.Boucher was hopeful on Hoffman drawing back in but was less certain on Ryans availability for the game.Craig Anderson will get the start in goal. The Senators sent Andrew Hammond down to the AHL after clearing waivers, which means former Canadiens netminder Mike Condon will serve as the back-up against his former team for the second time this season after doing so with the Pittsburgh Penguins back in October.
