The Boston Bruins have fired head coach Bruce Cassidy, general manager Don Sweeney said Monday.
Cassidy had held the position since February 2017, taking over when the Bruins let go of Claude Julien. The 57-year-old Cassidy was behind Boston's bench for 399 games, and leaves with a record 245-108-46.
The Bruins made the playoffs in each of Cassidy's six seasons, including a Stanley Cup Final appearance in 2019. Boston was eliminated in the first round of the 2022 postseason by the Carolina Hurricanes, a seven-game series that ended May 14.
