New York. The Boston Bruins season is about to go down in history.
Last night they achieved their 62nd win which is an NHL record.
– It feels special, no doubt, says Captain Patrice Bergeron.
They achieved the series victory long ago and also broke every imaginable club record, but the great Boston Bruins are clearly not happy with that.
They rallied for a strikingly inspired effort against the mighty New Jersey Devils at home at TD Garden last night, winning 2-1 and writing themselves into the history books.
“Magnificent Allmark”
The win was the 62nd of the season and only two teams have won that many games before: the Detroit Red Wings in 1995-96 and the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2018-19.
– We’ve been able to stick to our operations all season, stay in the moment and not think too much about all the noise around us, says team captain Patrice Bergeron.
—but making such a record feels undeniably special.
He became a great hero
They will probably get over it, too. The Bears have three games left—against Philadelphia away, Washington home, and Montreal away—and it would be very surprising if they lost all of them.
The big hero that night was Pavel Zacha, who scored both of his old team’s goals – one of them with an assist from Hampus Lindholm. Plus, Linus Ullmark was great as usual and stopped 29 shots.
The only one he has conceded is that of fellow countryman Jesper Pratt, who has now reached 32 goals.
