The Boston Bruins secured the Presidents' Trophy on Thursday night following a record-breaking National Hockey League season, but head coach Jim Montgomery has reminded his players not to get complacent.
The Bruins secured their 58th win of the season on Thursday night with a 2-1 overtime victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets, matching the total number of wins previous holders Florida Panthers recorded. But the Bruins have matched their total with seven games to spare, and have the all-time regular season win record in their sights.
It was far from a conventional Bruins win as they found it tough against a Blue Jackets side that have struggled all season long, but they still managed to get over the line. The Bruins have been dominant throughout the campaign, but Montgomery couldn't help but warn his players against letting their standards drop.
