BOSTON (AP) — Joonas Korpisalo stopped 21 shots, Elias Lindholm scored the game’s only goal, and the Boston Bruins beat the Utah Hockey Club 1-0 on Thursday night in their first game since the team fired coach Jim Montgomery and named Joe Sacco as interim coach.

As far as baby steps go, the Bruins took a pretty good one in Joe Sacco’s first game as head coach on Thursday at the Garden. The B’s received a second-period power-play goal from Elias Lindholm (!) and then relied on Joonas Korpisalo (along with his friend the post) to snap a three-game losing streak,

It’s a new era for the Boston Bruins (9-9-3) as Joe Sacco made his debut as the interim head coach in Thursday’s (Nov. 21) game against the Utah Hockey Club.
