The Boston Bruins have set a new NHL record for most points in a season, after defeating the Washington Capitals 5-2 on Saturday night. The Bruins have now earned 119 points in the regular season, surpassing the previous record of 118 points set by the Detroit Red Wings in 1995-96.
The Bruins have been one of the best teams in the NHL all season long, and their victory over the Capitals was just the latest example of their dominance. Led by star forwards Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron, the Bruins have been a force to be reckoned with all season long. The Bruins have also been bolstered by strong goaltending from Tuukka Rask, who has been one of the best netminders in the league this season.
The victory over the Capitals was a fitting way for the Bruins to set the new NHL record for most points in a season. The game was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams trading goals throughout. However, it was the Bruins who were able to pull away late, thanks to two goals from Marchand and one from Bergeron.
The Bruins have now set their sights on the Stanley Cup playoffs, where they will look to continue their dominance. With their record-breaking regular season performance, the Bruins have shown that they are a team to be reckoned with and are poised to make a deep run in the playoffs.
For now, though, the Bruins can bask in the glory of setting a new NHL record for most points in a season. Their victory over the Capitals was a fitting way to cap off an incredible regular season and set the stage for what should be an exciting playoff run.
