Details
Terry O’Reilly led the Boston Bruins with 61 assists and 90 points in 1977-78, as well as leading the club with 211 penalty minutes. Peter McNab led Boston in goal scoring with 41. The point count placed him seventh in the race for the Art Ross Trophy, a single point behind Mike Bossy and a single point ahead of both Gilbert Perreault and Bobby Clarke.
It was the third time that a Boston player led the team in both points and penalty minutes. You have to go way back to find the other two. In 1933-34, Nels Stewart tied for the team lead in points with Marty Barry and outright led the club in penalty minutes. In the franchise’s first year in the NHL, 1924-25, Jimmy Herberts led in both categories.
O’Reilly was a first round pick by the Bruins at the 1971 NHL Amateur Draft after a junior career with the Oshawa Generals. Between 1971-72 and 1984-85, he played in 891 regular season and 108 playoff games in the National Hockey League, all with Boston. His number 24 was retired by the team in 2002.
