The Boston Bruins have tied an NHL record with their 62nd win of the season, getting two goals from Pavel Zacha in the first five minutes and holding on to beat the New Jersey Devils 2-1.

The Bruins have three games left to try to top the record for regular-season wins set by the 1995-96 Red Wings and matched by the 2018-19 Lightning. Boston face Philadelphia on Sunday, Washington on Tuesday and Montreal on Thursday.

Linus Ullmark stopped 29 shots for Boston, who won their fifth straight and their 12th in 13 tries.

The Bruins are also on pace to surpass the NHL record of 132 points set by the 1976-77 Canadiens, who played an 80-game season and didn't have the opportunity to accumulate points for overtime or shootout wins.

Boston have already clinched their third Presidents' Trophy since 2014 for the best overall record in the regular season.
