"For starters, there were several blowouts. Multiple games were won by four or more goals, and three by six or more goals: The New York Islanders blanked the New Jersey Devils 9-0 Tuesday, the Colorado Avalanche bested the Ottawa Senators 8-2 Thursday, and the Boston Bruins picked up massive bragging rights Saturday, crushing the New York Rangers 10-2. In the case of the B's, it was the first time they put up a 10 burger since 1988, and the first time at home since 1979."
"David Pastrnak had six assists, tying the Bruins franchise record. Pavel Zacha and Marat Khusnutdinov both had their first NHL hat tricks, the first time that two players from the same team pulled that off since Pascal Dupuis and Petr Sykora did it on Dec. 11, 2008, for the Pittsburgh Penguins. All of that scoring comes during a season that has been among the tightest in terms of scores in history: over a quarter of games (26.1%) have gone past regulation."
