Overview
- Marat Husnutdinov delivered four goals and an assist to power Boston past New York 10–2, earning first-star honors of the game.
- David Pastrnak logged six assists to tie the Bruins’ single-game record, and Pavel Zacha recorded a hat trick.
- The NHL named Husnutdinov, Pastrnak and Zacha the league’s three stars of the day following the lopsided win.
- Husnutdinov’s outburst was recognized as the NHL’s 500th four-goal game and made him the ninth Russian this century and the 20th Bruin to record a poker.
- He has recently been elevated to the top line with Pastrnak and Elias Lindholm, with his first coach saying Pastrnak requested the move, while the Rangers were without injured Igor Shesterkin as Spencer Martin came on in the second period.
