BOSTON -- Joe Sacco is undefeated as head coach of the Boston Bruins. In his first game as the man in charge on the Boston bench, Sacco and the Bruins picked up a 1-0 victory over the Utah Hockey Club at TD Garden on Thursday night.

The Bruins, with juice in their legs and fury in their fists, scored a 1-0 victory over the Utah Hockey Club in Joe Sacco’s first game as interim coach Thursday night at TD Garden. Elias Lindholm snapped a 17-game goal drought and Mark Kastelic and Nikita Zadorov flexed their physicality as Boston snapped a three-game losing streak.

The Boston Bruins will try to stop a three-game losing streak when they play the Utah Hockey Club on Thursday, November 21.

There was not a burning desire to do much of anything against the Bruins. Utah came out flat and remained that way for most of the night. Being plagued with penalties did not help matters; Utah was put on the penalty kill seven times in Boston.

The Utah Hockey Club (7-8-3) embarks on a four-game road trip starting tonight in New England against the Boston Bruins (8-9-3). Utah looks to get back to .500 after a 1-2-0 homestand facing three of the NHL’s top teams. Utah and Boston last met on Oct. 19 at Delta Center when Utah pulled out a 2-1 overtime victory on home ice.
