BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy has been placed in the National Hockey League’s COVID-19 protocol, the club announced Tuesday.
Cassidy will not be behind the bench when the Bruins host the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night at TD Garden.
General Manager Don Sweeney confirmed that assistant coach Joe Sacco will temporarily take over Cassidy’s duties.
Sweeney added that Cassidy has mild symptoms and is “feeling overall fine.”
The NHL on Monday also suspended Bruins forward Brad Marchand for three games for slew-footing Canucks defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson.
