The Bruins have won just eight NHL games from their opening 20 this season and after such an uncharacteristically poor start to the year, head coach Jim Montgomery has been sacked.

2024 was Montgomery’s third year in charge of the Bruins and despite a record breaking first season in Boston, playoff struggles in 2022 and 2023 left a sour taste in the mouth.

Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney announced today, November 19, that the team has relieved Jim Montgomery of his duties as Head Coach.

Associate Coach Joe Sacco will assume interim head coaching duties.
