Boston Breaks Win Record

04/10/2023 Boston Breaks Win Record

By: Jeff Yoder

Bruins Make History With 63rd Win in Historic Season Full of Milestones

Grab a red pen and edit the record books. The Boston Bruins are officially the new holders of hockey’s all-time single-season wins record. With a new coach in Jim Montgomery, the same great captain in Patrice Bergeron, and a season to remember for David Pastrnak, the Bruins sit atop the NHL’s best all-time seasons. Boston won its 63rd game on Sunday over the Flyers (5-3) thanks to a hat trick by Pastrnak to give him the second 60-goal season in Bruins’ history. In the process, they eclipsed the 62-win record held by the 1995-96 Red Wings and the 2018-19 Lightning. There’s one more record on the horizon with two games to play. The Bruins (131 points) are now tied with those ’96 Red Wings for the second-most points in a season. The 1976-77 Canadiens still hold the all-time single-season points record (132), but one win by Boston will see that record crumble, too. Only a few days remain in the NHL regular season.
