The Boston Bruins have made history once again, this time by setting the NHL’s all-time single-season points record. With an impressive 62 wins, 15 losses, and 5 ties, the Bruins finished the regular season with 129 points, surpassing the previous record of 132 points that was set by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1976-1977 season. This remarkable achievement has cemented the Bruins’ place among the greatest teams in NHL history, and there is no doubt that they will be remembered for years to come. In this article, we will explore the factors that led to the Bruins’ success this season and analyze how they were able to set this incredible record.
The Boston Bruins have set a new record in the NHL, surpassing the 1976-77 Montreal Canadiens (132 points) for the most points in a single season in league history with 133 points. This record-breaking win came just two days after securing the all-time wins record. Coach Jim Montgomery commented on the achievement stating, “It’s nice to break the record for points. The Montreal team that we surpassed only played 80 games. I care more that we’re playing the right way.” The Bruins have become one of only 33 teams in league history with one or fewer streaks of consecutive regulation losses, and just the 18th team with two or fewer winless streaks.
Linus Ullmark also made history on Tuesday night, making 19 saves before leaving the game due to injury in the third period, registering his 40th win of the season and tying Pete Peeters (1982-83) for the most recorded by a Boston Bruins goalie. The netminder also became the fastest goalie in history to achieve the feat. Tomas Nosek hit 100 points after being stuck on 99 career points in the past five games, and Pastrnak became just the second player in Bruins history with 60 goals and 50 assists in a single season. The winger joined Edmonton’s Connor McDavid as the only players in the NHL this season to accomplish the feat. April has been a tremendous month for the Bruins, cashing in on six of 13 opportunities (46.2%) during six games, which currently leads the NHL.
In conclusion, the Boston Bruins have cemented their place in NHL history by setting the all-time single-season points record. With exceptional performances from key players like David Pastrnak, Brad Marchand, and Patrice Bergeron, the Bruins have gone above and beyond to surpass previous records and win the President’s Trophy. It’s a testament not only to the skill of the team, but also to their determination and hard work. As the playoffs approach, it remains to be seen if the Bruins can capitalize on their record-setting season and bring the Stanley Cup back to Boston. But for now, Bruins fans can revel in the amazing accomplishment that their team has achieved. Congratulations to the Boston Bruins on a record-breaking season!
