With the Stanley cup playoffs right around the corner, the Boston Bruins are looking like one top teams heading into the the first round with Bergeron, Marchand and Pastrnak line firing on all cylinders.
Bruce Cassidy has been brought up through the Boston Bruins organization after coaching in the American Hockey League for the the Boston Bruins AHL affiliate Providence Bruins, Cassidy joined the Boston Bruins during the 2016-2017 season after a promotion. He initially started as the assistant coach that season for Boston Bruins but took over as head coach on February 7th, 2017 after the firing of Claude Julien.
Boston needs just two points in their final two games for Bruce Cassidy to register a .650 or higher points percentage on the season. If this feat is reached, it will mark the sixth straight season Cassidy has reached the .650 mark. He would break his own NHL record of five seasons for most consecutive .650 plus winning percentage seasons to start a tenure with a team.
The top three on that list are Bruce Cassidy, who has five, Bruce Boudreau, who reached four seasons with the Washington Capitals, and Mike Babcock, who also reached four seasons with the Detroit Red Wings.
Cassidy's best winning season in 2019-2020 also saw the head coach take home the Jack Adams Award, leading Boston back to the Stanley Cup Final. Unfortunately though they lost in game 7 to the St Louis Blues.
