Setting records is not enough for the 2022-23 Boston Bruins. They apparently have to do it in dramatic fashion.
Not only did the B’s set the record for most wins in a season with their 63rd in a 5-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers, they rode David Pastrnak’s hat trick that gave the sniper his 58th, 59th and 60th goals of the season to get there.
While the B’s leap-frogged the 1995-96 Red Wings and 2018-19 Lightning for the record, Pastrnak become the first Bruins since Phil Esposito in 1974-75 to hit the 60-goal plateau. Wells Fargo Arena was a fitting spot for Pastrnak, who scored his very first NHL goal there on Jan. 10, 2015.
