The Daily: Bruins Bounce Red Wings From NHL Record Book; Three Assists For Bertuzzi

The Detroit Red Wings are officially out of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Now, thanks to the Boston Bruins, they’re also officially out of the NHL record book.

Boston’s 5-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday was the 63rd win of the season for the President’s Trophy-winning Bruins. That’s a new NHL single-season win mark.

The 1995-96 Red Wings won 62 games. That mark was equaled in 2018-19 by the Tampa Bay Lightning. Detroit GM Steve Yzerman was captain of the 1995-96 Detroit squad. As GM of Lightning, he was a major factor in shaping that squad.

Former Detroit forward Tyler Bertuzzi dished out three assists in Boston’s win over the Flyers. Of note, neither the 1995-96 Red Wings or 2018-19 Lightning would reach the Stanley Cup final during their record win year.
