NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reveals who the Boston Bruins are interviewing for their head coaching position

Since the Bruins ended up missing the playoffs for the first time in eight years, they have been looking to hire a new head coach.

Not long into the 2024-25 season, General Manager Don Sweeney decided to move on from Jim Montgomery and ended up firing him. For the remainder of the year, the Bruins ended up having assistant coach Joe Sacco as their interim head coach.

Now the Boston Bruins have been searching for a head coach ever since.

They have missed out on quite a few big named head coaches. Mike Sullivan was at the top of the Bruins list after he was fired by the Pittsburgh Penguins, but Sullivan ended up taking the head coaching job with the New York Rangers.

Just recently, the Boston Bruins ended up missing out on Rick Tocchet, who was apparently a top candidate for the Bruins, but ultimately he wanted too much for the Bruins to hire him.

There are still a couple of head coaches available for the Bruins at this moment, and Elliotte Friedman has revealed who the Bruins have interviewed.

Today, on Elliotte Friedman's 32 Thoughts Podcast, he revealed five different head coaches he believes the Boston Bruins have interviewed.

Those include, Sturm, Leach, Halpern, Blashill, and Mitch Love:

It's unclear at this moment who is a serious candidate for the Bruins other then Sturm and Leach, but the Bruins still have some options to choose from even after missing out on quite a few head coaches.
