Bruins record 10-game point streak for third consecutive season

The Boston Bruins have been hot to start the 2019-2020 NHL season. And after Monday night's win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, they officially reached another significant statistical milestone.

Over the course of the past 10 games, the Bruins are 8-0-2, meaning that they have logged at least one point in 10 consecutive games.

According to the NHL PR Twitter account, that is the third consecutive season in which the Bruins have achieved a 10-plus game point streak.

The 2019-20 season marks the third consecutive campaign in which the @NHLBruins (8-0-2) have posted at least one point streak 10 or more games.

The longest such run in franchise history is five consecutive seasons, spanning from 1975-76 to 1979-80. #NHLStats pic.twitter.com/qOWjB2Ue6M

And only two teams in the past decade have matched the success that the Bruins have had year to year, also per NHL PR.

Only two teams in the last decade have posted longer stretches than the @NHLBruins: San Jose (5 from 2006-07 to 2010-11) and Detroit (5 from 2005-06 to 2009-10). #NHLStats pic.twitter.com/GWQvWeDoWe

This achievement is a feather in the cap for Bruce Cassidy, who simply knows how to get the most out of this Bruins team. Their ability to sustain high-level play for long periods of time certainly speaks to his leadership as well as the talent the Bruins have had over the course of the past three seasons.

The Bruins will look extend their point streak to 11 games on Tuesday night against the Montreal Canadiens. They still have a ways to go if they want to match their 19-game streak from last season.
