Game summary
Boston scored 10 goals in a 10-2 victory at TD Garden: Marat Khusnutdinov (4G, 1A), Pavel Zacha (3G) and David Pastrnak (6A). Jeremy Swayman finished with 27 saves on 29 shots; Rangers starter Jonathan Quick was replaced by Spencer Martin in the second period.
Game context
This was a regular-season NHL game at TD Garden on January 10, 2026. The Bruins' offensive outburst arrived while Boston improved its record to 24-19-2, and the Rangers fell to 20-20-6 after the loss.
The result stood out in franchise terms: Boston's 10-goal night was the team's highest single-game total of the 2025–26 season and the club's first 10-goal game since 1988.
First-period shape
Jeremy Swayman started in goal for Boston and Jonathan Quick for New York; the game included an early off-ice development when Bruins forward Morgan Geekie left after the first period for a family matter (reported postgame).
How the game unfolded
Boston piled on goals throughout the night to reach 10 total. Marat Khusnutdinov finished with four goals and an assist — his first NHL hat trick came as part of that night — while Pavel Zacha added three goals, also recording his first NHL hat trick.
David Pastrnak's six assists were the connective thread for Boston's scoring, tying the franchise record for most assists in a single game and feeding multiple goal-scorers on the night.
As the Bruins' lead grew, New York made a net change: Jonathan Quick was replaced in the second period by Spencer Martin, a move that underlined how decisively the game had tilted in Boston's favor.
Decisive moments
The decisive elements were Boston's concentrated scoring bursts and the individual finishing nights from Khusnutdinov and Zacha; both players recorded their first career hat tricks in the same game, a club first at home and the first double hat trick for the Bruins since 1964.
Pastrnak's six-assist performance amplified those finishing plays, turning quality opportunities into a lopsided scoreboard and leaving the Rangers on the back foot for much of the contest.
Special teams and goaltending
On goaltending, Jeremy Swayman faced 29 shots and made 27 saves for a .931 save percentage in the victory. New York's decision to replace Jonathan Quick with Spencer Martin in the second period was a clear in-game response to Boston's offensive surge.

Standings impact
The win moved Boston to 24-19-2 and represented a boost in form — the Bruins had won four of five. The Rangers fell to 20-20-6 and extended a poor run marked by losing six of seven games. The result therefore both reinforced Boston's short-term momentum and deepened New York's slump.
