Garnet Hathaway broke a third-period tie to lead Boston to a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday, giving the Bruins their 50th win of the season and making them the fastest team to reach the milestone in NHL history.

The Bruins needed only 64 games to reach 50 wins, beating the record of 66 set by the 1995-96 Red Wings and matched by the 2018-19 Lightning. The Bruins could become the first team this season to clinch a playoff berth, depending on other games later Saturday.

The Ottawa Senators' sale is reaching another pinnacle.

Sportico reported Thursday that the Senators have received bids from nine groups interested in purchasing the club, with some valuations going north of $900 million.

If the Senators were to sell for over $900 million, it would be the richest transaction in league history. Fenway Sports Group previously purchased the Pittsburgh Penguins for $900 million in 2021.

David Pastrnak had a goal and two assists just a few hours after signing a new contract, and the surging Boston Bruins became the fastest team in NHL history to reach 100 points by beating the Buffalo Sabres 7-1 on Thursday night.
