The Boston Bruins are now the fastest team to get to 50 wins in a season. To elaborate more on how monumental the accomplishment is, only 4 teams have got to the 50 wins point in under 83 games. Also, this is in the entire history of the NHL. In 1976-77, the Montreal Canadiens got 60 wins in 80 games. The Canadiens are followed by the Detroit Red Wings who got 62 wins in 82 games in the 1995-96 season. In 2019-20, the Tampa Bay Lightning got 62 wins in 82 games.

But what the Bruins have done is even more impressive because the competition in the league has only increased gradually from the previous seasons. And this season has been a season of fresh records left, right, and center. In addition to this, if the Bruins manage to win 12 out of the 18 games left in the season, they will tie to the current record for all-time NHL wins in a season. Irrespective of whether that happens or not, this accomplishment has already secured its name in the NHL history books.
