The Boston Bruins knew they had a trying off-season ahead following their Game 7 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.
They’re still awaiting word on Patrice Bergeron’s decision. They found out they’d enter the start of the 2022-23 campaign without Brad Marchand (hip), Matt Grzelcyk (right shoulder), Mike Reilly (ankle) and Charlie McAvoy (left shoulder) following their respective surgeries. But now, their top priority involves searching for their next head coach.
On Monday, the Bruins announced that they’ve relieved Bruce Cassidy of his duties after six years at the helm.
“Today I informed Bruce Cassidy that I was making a head coaching change,” Sweeney said in a team-isued statement.
