Bruins Joe Sacco Makes His First Big Decision As Head Coach Of The Boston Bruins

Joe Sacco just made his first big decision as head coach heading into the Boston Bruins game tonight.

The Boston Bruins are gearing up to take on the Utah Hockey Club tonight, and new head coach Joe Sacco has made his first big decision.

Tonight's game will be the last of the Boston Bruins three game home stand.

After losing their previous two to the St. Louis Blues and Blue Jackets, the Bruins will not only look for a win, but Joe Sacco's first win as head coach.

Heading into the game many weren't sure if we were going to see some roster changes from Sacco, but we have, and it's a surprising one.

Jeremy Swayman is normally the go-to goaltender for the Boston Bruins, and after having a couple days off, he would normally get the start.

That's not the case tonight as head coach Joe Sacco already confirmed that Joonas Korpisalo will be the Bruins starting goaltender against the Utah Hockey Club.

This is surprising, but not at the same time due to Jeremy Swayman really struggling to find his game after missing training camp this year.

Joonas Korpisalo on the other hand has been great for the Boston Bruins keeping them in multiple games where they should be losing by a landslide.

The Boston Bruins currently do not sit in a playoff spot, as they were recently knocked out of the second wildcard spot by the New York Islanders.

Now the Buffalo Sabres have knocked the New York Islanders out and have moved into the second wildcard spot.

Both the Islanders, Bruins, and Sabres are tied for points on the year with 19, but the Islanders, and Sabres both have a game in hand giving them the 2nd wildcard spot.

It's going to be a battle for the Boston Bruins to come back, and they think Joe Sacco has what it's going to take to be able to lead the Bruins to the playoffs.
