    The Boston Bruins announced yesterday that they have fired their head coach, Jim Montgomery.

    The news comes one day after the Columbus Blue Jackets handed the Bruins their third straight loss. The Bruins made a coaching move by relieving Montgomery of his duties and naming Joe Sacco interim head coach. 

    Montgomery coached the Bruins for 184 games; in that time he had only lost 41 times in regulation. His coaching record was 120-41-23, for a .715 points percentage.

    In 2023, Montgomery, Lindy Ruff, and Dave Hakstol were all finalists for the Jack Adams (coach of the year). Since then, they all have been fired.

    As for the Blue Jackets, they appeared to be the final straw after a great game against the Bruins. They will hope to carry that momentum forward and try to get another win against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday, Nov. 21.
