On Saturday, the Bruins tied the 1995-1996 Detroit Red Wings and the 2018-2019 Tampa Bay Lightning for most wins in a season after capturing their 62nd win.

The Bruins’ record now stands at 63-12-5 for the season. They have clinched the President’s Trophy and home-ice advantage in the playoffs.

The team has two games remaining against the Washington Capitals and Montréal Canadiens before the regular season concludes Thursday.
