Two Finalists Emerge for the Bruins' Head Coaching Role, Per Top Insider Pierre LeBrun

Two finalists have emerged for the Boston Bruins' head coaching role, according to Pierre LeBrun.

Many teams who were looking to find a head coach already hired a new one: the Philadelphia Flyers with Rick Tocchet, the Vancouver Canucks with Adam Foote, the Seattle Kraken with Lane Lambert, the New York Rangers with Mike Sullivan, the Chicago Blackhawks with Jeff Blashill, and the Anaheim Ducks with Joel Quenneville.

Only the Boston Bruins and the Pittsburgh Penguins still need to hire a new coach.

Last week, Pierre LeBrun confirmed that Luke Richardson, Marco Sturm, Jay Woodcroft, as well as the Bruins' interim Joe Sacco,
all interviewed for the job:

'On Bruins' coaching search, my understanding is final interviews will be conducted next week and then a decision to come after that.

Not sure who made the cut. Boston has talked to a lot of people. Marco Sturm, Jay Woodcroft, Mitch Love, Luke Richardson, Joe Sacco, Jay Leach among those believed to have interviewed...'

Now, in a new development, we learned that the Bruins reached another step in the hiring process.
