David Pastrnak's Boston Bruins etched their name into history

The Boston Bruins have been the most dominant team in the 2022-23 NHL season. The team cemented a new record to their name after defeating the Philadelphia Flyers 5-3 on Sunday.

The Boston Bruins secured their 63rd win on the night and became the first team in the history of the NHL to secure the most wins in a season. The previous record for the most wins was held by the Detroit Red Wings and the Tampa Bay Lightning, who were both tied for 62 wins.

David Pastrnak completed his hat-trick after just 39 seconds of the third period with a snapshot on a rush to take his goal tally to 60 of the season. Following this remarkable accomplishment, here's what David Pastrnak said:

"It’s very special. It’s been a lot of fun, not going to lie. It’s been enjoyable, especially with the group we have here, and we obviously knew what was at stake, and it’s definitely special to hit it with a game like this and make history today in the biggest league in hockey. So we definitely appreciate it."

With 131 points and two games left on the schedule, the Boston Bruins (63-12-5) are on pace to tie or break the NHL record for most points in a single season. The Montreal Canadiens currently hold the record for the most points in a single season (132), which they set in 1976-77.
