The Bruins would go on to win the game 1-0 against Utah, taking the win in Joe Sacco's debut with the team.
After the game, Bruins captain Brad Marchand shared an emotional moment with the head coach.
Brad Marchand took the puck after their 1-0 victory, and gave it to Joe Sacco after the game.
Joe Sacco stated that he is going to keep the puck that Brad Marchand gave him after his debut win with the team as the head coach.
Here is what he had to say:
Joe Sacco was addressed the head coach position with the Bruins on Tuesday after the team announced they were parting ways with Jim Montgomery.
Joe Sacco has been with the Bruins organization for the past 10 years as an associate coach.
Jim Montgomery had an insane record with the Boston Bruins.
Montgomery's record with the Boston Bruins as a head coach was 120-43-21.
Just insane the fact that the Boston Bruins decided to move on from him. There is no doubt that Montgomery will have a job real soon.
He has proven himself to be one of the best head coach's in the league.
