Bruins' point streak reaches 17 games, team's longest in 35 years

The Boston Bruins extended their point streak to 17 games Tuesday thanks to a 3-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils.

It marks the first time the Bruins have collected at least a point in 17 straight games since 1983, and the sixth time in franchise history. Over the past six weeks, the Bruins have gone 13-0-4, with their last regulation loss coming Dec. 14 against the Washington Capitals.

The Bruins were backed by their top line once again Tuesday, combining for another four points. The line - Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, and David Pastrnak - has combined for 136 points on the year.
