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.
