Bruins beat Devils, tie NHL record for most wins in a single season with 62 originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The Boston Bruins are one step closer to breaking another major NHL record.

Presidents’ Trophy curse? How Bruins compare to recent winners
The Bruins need four more points to break the 1976-77 Montreal Canadiens’ league record for the most points in a season. Boston has already set team records for the most wins, the most road wins and the most points in a season.
Last month, the Bruins clinched the Presidents’ Trophy and home ice advantage throughout the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs. They will play the second wild card team in the first round of the postseason.
Given the Bruins’ remarkable success this season, anything less than a Stanley Cup title in June would be a massive disappointment.
