Bruins defense shows improvement under interim coach Joe Sacco
The Boston Bruins' defense has improved since interim coach Joe Sacco took over on November 21. After a shaky start to the season, the team has gone 4-2-0 and has not allowed more than three goals in any game during this stretch. The Bruins have managed this turnaround without defenseman Hampus Lindholm, who is sidelined with an injury. New players like Parker Wotherspoon and Jordan Oesterle have stepped up, helping key defenseman Charlie McAvoy perform better. Communication among defense pairs has been emphasized as crucial for success. Players like Brandon Carlo are adapting to new pairings, contributing to the team's newfound stability on defense.
