March 10, 2023. The Boston Bruins sat with 49 wins and could have become the fastest team in NHL history to get 50 wins. Connor McDavid was looking to expand on a historic season of his own, trying to get 4 points to have the most points in a season since 1998. It’s only March 10. I was able to live tweet the game, and it didn’t disappoint.
The Oilers only play in Boston once during the regular season so it’s normally a special night but there were treated to many storylines
– Connor McDavid is just 4 points away from scoring the most points in a season since 1998. It’s only March 10.
– The Boston Bruins were looking to become the fastest team in NHL history to 50 wins
– The Boston Bruins only needed one more win to clinch a playoff spot.
-The Boston Bruins were on a 10 game winning streak.
These are massive story lines for March 10. These teams truly had special story lines heading into this game.
The Bruins jumped out to a 2 goal lead in the first period but it didn’t come without drama. You’ll have to click the Twitter links to find out what happened and how media helped the Oilers in this game!
The second period was when the Oilers were able to score 1 goal and come close to tying the game. Stuart Skinner rebounded with a solid period after letting in 2 in the first.
Although the Bruins were held to 49 wins(so far) and they didn’t clinch a playoff birth it was still a great game. Connor McDavid was held off the score sheet but Evan Bouchard, Ryan McLeod, and Darnell Nurse all scored for the Oilers.
It was a highly anticipated game and it didn’t disappoint. The Oilers came away with a 3-2 win, ended the Bruins 10 game winning streak, and end their road trip in Toronto on March 11.
