The fastest would be the fewest games that the team played. If a goalie play 30 games in the year and they win number 26 in April, I don't think that would be the new record.
Just like getting 50 goals in 50 games is about the games the team played, not the player.
So Ullmark has 25 wins in 46 games.

No. Thats not how they count games played by goalies
Also ... if a goalie was injured/didnt play for the 1st half the season. And won 25 in 27 games. That should be considered a new record
Why dont you worry about your team... making it into the playoffs first =p
Second fastest
Fastest in 90 years though lol
Fastest in 90 years though lol
Also funny that he didn’t get credited with a shutout last night because Swayman had to come in for like 2 minutes while he got his skate blade put back on and made 1 save.

It should be considered A new record, just not the record for "fastest to 25 wins in a season". More of a "best mid-season 27 game stretch" type of record.

I'm actually surprised Ken Dryden doesn't have this record.

What's even crazier is that the top 3 fastest wins all came from Bruins goaltenders
Fewest games played is more appropriate than fastest.

Goalies like Dryden didn’t get the opportunity to be assured of a win-loss decision every night they played. Games that were tied at the end of regulation didn’t even go into overtime in those days. Ties, even after overtime was implemented, left a lot of wins on the table.
Hence why this current incarnation of the Bruins was able to set a record for most consecutive wins at home to start the season, a streak that would have ended at 2 in past times, since they won in a shootout in their third home game.
Regardless of format, the Bruins have been monstrously dominant this year and it’s always fun to watch a team run wild over the rest of the league.
Hopefully there’s the chance to also muse about their place in history if they pass the 60-62 wins threshold as well.

Mr. Objectivity
And the Bruins didn't win the Cup those two other times (they won it the previous year both times).
So not comparable to seasons before the shootout was introduced - unless you back out those 2 wins. I’ll never understand why this facet of these ‘wins’ records isn’t taken into consideration.
