In a historic and exhilarating start to their 100th season, the Boston Bruins are on the cusp of matching an 86-year-old franchise record. With a 5-0-0 record, they have embarked on their best season launch in nearly nine decades, setting the NHL ablaze and captivating fans across the league.
The NHL Network recently shared an image displaying the Bruins' previous record. The caption read:
"The @NHLBruins have kicked off their 100th season with their best start in almost 90 years. #NHLBruins."
This remarkable achievement has stirred up memories of past glory, particularly the 1937-38 season when the Bruins achieved a 6-0-0 record to begin their campaign.
The Bruins' journey to this remarkable record-breaking start in the 2023-24 season has been nothing short of spectacular. Let's take a closer look at their five consecutive victories:
Wednesday, Oct. 11 - vs. Chicago
The Bruins started their winning streak with a commanding 3-1 victory against the Chicago Blackhawks. Linus Ullmark was their goalie.
Saturday, Oct. 14 - vs. Nashville
In a closely contested matchup, the Bruins clinched a thrilling 3-2 win against the Nashville Predators. Jeremy Swayman was their goalie.
Thursday, Oct. 19 - vs. San Jose
The Bruins continued their winning ways with a 3-1 triumph over the San Jose Sharks. Ullmark was their goalie.
Saturday, Oct. 21 - vs. Los Angeles
The team's momentum didn't wane as it secured a 4-2 win against the Los Angeles Kings. Swayman was the goalie.
Sunday, Oct. 22 - vs. Anaheim
The latest victory came on the road against the Anaheim Ducks, with a final score of 3-1. Ullmark continued as their goalie.
Now, as the Boston Bruins prepare to face the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday, Oct. 24, they have the opportunity to tie the record set in 1937-38. The game against Chicago provides a chance for the Bruins to make history and match the impressive 6-0-0 start from 86 years ago.
