The Bruins carried the momentum into the second period, immediately widening the gap with a one-timer from Fraser Minten at 2:12.​

“It’s pretty fun to watch and be part of. Just to see how everybody played together for the full 60 minutes, pretty much,” Mark Kastelic said.

Khusnutdinov logged his second of the afternoon at 6:41 for the 5-1 scoreline; Saturday was the first multi-goal game of his NHL career.

And then came the hats. Casey Mittelstadt kept the puck in the zone at the blue line and dropped it to Zacha, who snapped it home for the accolade and 6-1 lead at 11:26.

J.T. Miller scored at 14:04, but Charlie McAvoy quickly followed it up just under two minutes later to make it 7-2 with his second goal of the season – and second point of the game. It extended McAvoy’s point streak to five games.

And then came the hats, again. Khusnutdinov tipped in David Pastrnak’s shot for his third goal of the contest, pushing it to 8-2 at 3:51.

“Those two guys having that experience, first-timers,” head coach Marco Sturm said. “It’s just great. Couldn’t make a better day like today.​

Minten then got his second of the game with a snapshot at 11:26, which Pastrnak also assisted on, for the 9-2 standing. Khusnutdinov’s fourth of the night at 18:31 – another tipped tally – brought the matchup to its final 10-2 score.

Pastrnak finished with six assists against the Rangers – the first six-point game of his career. It also tied Bobby Orr and Ken Hodge for the most assists in one game in franchise history.

“I like to make plays. Growing up, I was more of a playmaker, and then obviously in the NHL it flipped a little bit,” Pastrnak said. “I like to score goals, don’t get me wrong, but most of the time if I see somebody in a better position than me to score, then I always try to pass.”

​The Bruins are right back at it on Sunday as they host the Pittsburgh Penguins for the second game of their back-to-back.

“I think the guys should enjoy the day. They played a hell of a good hockey game,” Sturm said. “Forget about how high we scored, but we played really, really good. They should feel really good about it.”
