Big Takeaway From Bruins Second Straight Win Under Head Coach Joe Sacco
A massive takeaway from the Boston Bruins second straight win under new head coach Joe Sacco.
The Bruins hit the road to face the Detroit Red Wings after a perfect game in Joe Sacco's debut with the team.
Sacco took over the head coaching role after Jim Montgomery was let go by the team, and surprisingly decided to go with Jeremy Swayman as the goaltender tonight.
Joe Sacco showed some faith in the goaltender who has been struggling during the 2024-25 season.
In his last two starts, Swayman has given up 12 goals on 66 shots and has lost both of his last two games.
This controversial move, starting Jeremy Swayman did not result in a bad outcome. Swayman came up big for the Bruins and helped beat the Red Wings 2-1.
Jeremy Swayman finally looked up to par, ending the game with 17 saves on 18 shots from the Red Wings, and a good amount of them were game-changer saves.
The offence for the Boston Bruins struggled once again at applying pressure to the opposing teams goaltender.
The Bruins were able to capitalize on their first power play of the game and marked the second game in a row the Bruins have scored a goal on the power play.
After their power play goal, the team missed quality opportunities to score another goal, and Talbot made a lot of impressive saves.
The Bruins leant on Jeremy Swayman to not blow the lead for the Bruins this time after going scoreless in the second period.
In the third period Brad Marchand was rewarded as he gave the Bruins a late lead with 8:30 left in the game.
The Red Wings had plenty of time to get a goal back, and Swayman's job was far from done.
Jeremy Swayman played like his elite version we all know him for, and kept the Bruins in the lead until the final buzzer.
The Bruins would go on to beat the Red Wings 2-1 in regulation giving Joe Sacco a perfect 2-0 record as head coach with the Boston Bruins.
Now the Boston Bruins are looking to take on the Vancouver Canucks when they come into town on Tuesday.
