Garnet Hathaway scored the winning goal in the 2^nd period, and with their 6^th win in a row, they won the Atlantic Division but didn’t even celebrate.

Boston won for the 56^th time this season and is one victory away from the franchise’s best record in 1970-71. However, they can also try to finish with the best record the NHL ever saw, as they have 10 more games to do it.

Detroit Red Wings and Tampa Bay Lightning both had a season with 62 wins in NHL.

Bergeron notched the other goal for Boston as goaltender Linus Ullmark stopped 26 shots.

“Last match, you mean?” captain Bergeron said when asked about clinching the division. Informed it had happened Saturday, he said: “Oh really.”

Victor Hedman scored the only goal for the Tampa Bay team, which recorded 4^th straight loss.

Tampa Bay will make a trip to play against Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday, while Boston will also visit the same team on Sunday.
