With Sweeney signing a two-year extension earlier this week, it looks like his search for a new head coach is now entering its home stretch. Bruins team president Cam Neely said in-person interviews would begin soon in an interview with The Boston Globe after Sweeney's extension was announced.

After getting his contract extension, Don Sweeney has interviewed at least six candidates for Bruins head coach, including Jay Woodcroft.

The Boston Bruins are reportedly reaching the end of their head coaching search and are conducting final interviews with their short-list.
