Boston wrote itself into the record books on Saturday.
The Bruins just keep on winning, and the franchise’s latest victory saw Boston etch its place in NHL history. With Saturday’s comeback win over the Red Wings, the Bruins became the fastest-ever team to reach 50 regular-season wins. 
It took Boston just 64 games to pick up 50 wins, besting the record previously held by Detroit, who won 50 games in 66 games in 1995-96. The 2018-19 Lightning also needed 66 games to achieve 50 victories.
Boston’s season record of 50-9-5 (105 points) is far and away the best in the league.
