Bruins Break NHL All-Time Points Record (133) With Win Over Capitals (5-2)

More history for the Bruins! Boston gave a beatdown to Washington on Tuesday (5-2) to eclipse the NHL’s single-season points record (133) and etch their name in the history books once more. The Bruins already claimed the all-time wins record (63), and they’ve officially skated into the category of (statistically) the best hockey team ever. It was Boston’s seventh straight win coming down the stretch, and they still have one game to go. They’re 14-1 in their last 15 games, and it’s looking like the Bruins vs. The Field in the upcoming Stanley Cup Playoffs.
