Boston Bruins Break NHL Points Record with 5-2 Win over Washington Capitals
The Boston
Bruins delighted their home crowd on Tuesday night with a record-setting
performance against the Washington Capitals. The Bruins scored two power-play
goals courtesy of Brad Marchand and Tyler Bertuzzi and secured a 5-2 victory
in their regular-season home finale.
Breaking the NHL points record with 133 points, one more than the 1976-77 Montreal Canadiens, the Bruins have now won seven straight games. The team's impressive points total includes 11 extra points for overtime and shootout wins, which were not available to the Canadiens during their record-setting season.
However, Marchand was quick to remind fans that "what we've accomplished so far has no bearing" on the upcoming playoffs, and all teams start from scratch.

The Boston Bruins broke the NHL focuses record by overcoming the Washington Capitals 5-2 in their customary season home finale. The Bruins' latest victory has given them 133 points, one more than the 1976-77 Montreal Canadiens, making them the new record-holders.
- A
regular-season record
Although the Bruins are happy about their achievement, Marchand made it clear that the record is for the regular season only. When playoffs start, all teams will begin anew with the same goal in mind.
- Marchand
and Bertuzzi's power-play goals
Brad Marchand and Tyler Bertuzzi scored power-play goals that helped the Bruins secure their victory. Marchand scored his 21st goal of the season while Bertuzzi's goal was his eighth.
- Playoffs in
sight
The Boston Bruins will have the home-ice advantage all through the end of the season games as they seek after their most memorable Stanley Cup title starting around 2011. The team's recent record-breaking performance has certainly given them momentum heading into the postseason.
- Wilson and Jensen's consolation goals
Nick Jensen and Tom Wilson scored two goals for the Washington Capitals in their loss to the Bruins. Charlie Lindgren made 33 and put something aside for the Capitals, including a one-gave, gloveless save money on David Pastrnak from the get-go in the third period. However, it was not enough to stop the Bruins' record-setting performance.
Conclusion
The Boston Bruins' record-setting performance against the Washington Capitals has given them the NHL points record with 133 points. While the Bruins are pleased with their accomplishment, they are well aware that playoffs are an entirely different game. With home-ice advantage, the Bruins are poised for a strong postseason run.
