The Boston Bruins have made a coaching change, promoting Joe Sacco to interim head coach after Jim Montgomery's departure. Sacco will be given a fair chance to secure the full-time position as the Bruins choose not to actively seek new candidates.

Meanwhile, several teams, including the Detroit Red Wings, Nashville Predators, and Pittsburgh Penguins, are facing pressure on their coaches due to disappointing starts this season. Coaches Derek Lalonde, Mike Sullivan, and Andrew Brunette are under scrutiny, with their futures potentially hinging on upcoming performances.

The St. Louis Blues and Montreal Canadiens are also mentioned as teams that could consider coaching changes, though their current coaches may have more leeway due to injuries and management's patience.
