The Bruins announced on Monday that head coach Bruce Cassidy has been fired after six years on the job.
Cassidy, who has been the team’s coach since 2017, amassed a record of 245-108 (.694 winning percentage). The Bruins won the Eastern Conference in 2018-19 under his direction and never missed the playoffs.
Bruins GM Don Sweeney called Cassidy’s firing “an extremely difficult decision.”
“I want to thank and acknowledge Bruce for all his work and success with the Bruins organization,” Sweeney said in a statement. “His head coaching record for the Bruins is impressive, and we are appreciative of Bruce both professionally and personally.
