Marco Sturm faces greater expectations in second season with Bruins

Marco Sturm enters his second season as head coach of the Boston Bruins with heightened expectations after a successful debut. In his first season, Sturm led the team to a 45-27-10 record, returning to the playoffs, although the Bruins exited in the first round against the Buffalo Sabres. Sturm emphasized the need for improvement, particularly in generating offense around the net, as Boston aims to build on its previous success. The development of young players will be critical as the Bruins work to advance further in the playoffs after last year's early exit.
