Oct. 25, 2022, vs. Dallas Stars

On June 30, 2022, the Bruins front office hired former Dallas Stars head coach Jim Montgomery to replace the recently fired Bruce Cassidy. Montgomery takes over for Cassidy, who guided the team to a 245-108-46 record in 399 games over six seasons, which included a heartbreaking Game 7 loss in the 2019 Stanley Cup Final.

It will be interesting to see how the team responds to a new voice in the room since there are rumors of Cassidy losing the team over his tenure. There won’t be much time to work out all the kinks of the new system before the Stars come to town at the end of October.

Before serving as an assistant coach with the St. Louis Blues from 2020-2022, Montgomery was the head coach of the Stars, compiling a 61-43-10 record over two seasons in the deep south. His crowning achievement with the franchise was a second-round loss to the Blues in 2019, who would eventually win their first Stanley Cup at TD Garden later that spring.
