Later on in the day on Tuesday Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney announced that the Boston Bruins had fired Jim Montgomery.
Sweeney also announced that Joe Sacco the assistant head coach of the Bruins for 10 years would take over for Jim Montgomery.
According to Chris Johnston the St. Louis Blues have hired Jim Montgomery to a five-year deal.
Here's the official report:
There were rumours that Jim Montgomery was set to sign with the St. Louis Blues as he still has a house out there.
Jim Montgomery will now take over as the head coach for the Blues, and brings some experience with him.
His all-time record with the Boston Bruins was 120-43-21.
