It’s going to be an exciting sports weekend in Boston, and the Bruins started it off with a bang.

The B’s hosted the rival New York Rangers for a Saturday afternoon showdown at TD Garden. The Rangers scored 84 seconds into the game, but it was all Bruins after that.

The Bruins scored six unanswered goals and ultimately won 10-2, improving their record to 24-19-2, which puts them just one point out of a wild card playoff spot in the Eastern Conference standings.

Here are some of the wildest stats from the Bruins’ historic victory.

Double hat trick

Marat Khusnutdinov (four goals, one assist) and Pavel Zacha (three goals) became the first pair of Bruins teammates to tally a hat trick in the same game since 1964.

Khusnutdinov had just five goals entering Saturday and nearly matched that total in this game.

Khusnutdinov’s four goals ties a team record for a single game. The last B’s player to score four goals in a game was Patrice Bergeron versus the Detroit Red Wings on Nov. 4, 2021.

Zacha came into this game with 10 goals on the season. He now has 13, which is one shy of the 14 he scored in 82 games last season. He has a good chance to hit the 20-goal mark for the third time in his Bruins career.

Saturday’s hat trick was the first of his career.

The last time any team had two players record their first career hat tricks in the same game was the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2008-09 campaign. They won the Stanley Cup that season.

10 Goals

The last time the Bruins scored 10-plus goals in a game was Oct. 16, 1988 when they beat the Chicago Blackhawks 10-3 on the road.

Saturday was not the first time the Bruins have scored a ton of goals on the Rangers. In fact, the Bruins’ team record for goals scored in one game is 14 against the Rangers on Jan. 21, 1945.

David Pastrnak makes history

Pastrnak didn’t score a goal in this game, but he set up plenty of them for teammates.

He finished with a career-high six assists. He’s the first Bruins player with a six-assist game since Bobby Orr in 1973. He also joins Orr and Ken Hodge as the only Bruins players ever to have six assists in a single game.

Pastrnak’s six points Saturday give him 888 for his career, tying Orr for the seventh-most in team history.
