It wasn’t the smoothest of times for the Boston Bruins during the first half of the 2018-19 season. Bruce Cassidy had his hands full guiding the Bruins through injuries and a lack of secondary scoring.
Yet, the Bruins are healthier and slowly but surely finding their stride. They’re still looking up at the Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs in the Atlantic Division, but the fact that they sit in third place in the division is a testament to Cassidy’s coaching and Boston’s next man up mentality.
