The Boston Bruins are set to name Jim Montgomery as their new head coach, sources told ESPN on Thursday, confirming multiple reports.
The appointment is expected to be made official Friday, the same day Montgomery\'s contract as an assistant coach with the St. Louis Blues expires.
The 53-year-old Montgomery replaces Bruce Cassidy, who was fired by the Bruins on June 7 after six seasons behind the bench.
