Joe Sacco’s time with the Bruins officially came to an end on Thursday when he joined the New York Rangers as an assistant after Boston announced it hired Marco Sturm as its next coach. Sacco took over in the interim after Jim Montgomery was fired in November.

Following Joe Sacco’s departure, the Boston Bruins have announced a significant coaching change as they look to reset after a challenging NHL season.

Sacco has been informed by the Bruins that he will not stay on as the head coach, TSN's Eliot Friedman reported in his 32 Thoughts podcast that was released Monday. It doesn't sound like Sacco will be back on the Boston bench at all, with Friedman speculating the 56-year-old could join Craig Berube's staff with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
