The Boston Bruins have set several new team and NHL records this season, and that includes their head coach, Jim Montgomery.

The B's won their 59th game of the season Saturday with a 4-3 victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins on the road. As a result, Montgomery has set a new record for the most wins by a head coach in his first season with a new team. The Bruins hired Montgomery in July of 2022 after firing Bruce Cassidy in June of that year.
