    Zacha also captured a milestone in the game when he scored the 100th goal of his career in the third period to give the Bruins an 8-4 lead.

    STARS OF THE GAME
    -- Heinen led the scoring with his first career hat trick. It was the forward's first multi-goal game since Feb. 8, 2022, when he scored two against the Bruins as a member of the Pittsburg Penguins.

    -- David Pastrnak scored his 30th goal of the season at 1:26 of the third period to give the Bruins a 6-4 lead. It's the third straight season Pastrnak has lit the lamp at least 30 times.

    -- After missing five games with an upper-body injury, Brandon Carlo returned to the lineup and opened the scoring when he tipped in a pass from Trent Frederic.

    WAGER WATCH
    FanDuel Sportsbook set the odds that Heinen would light the lamp twice at +4900. The Bruins forward cleared those odds by notching his first multi-goal game of the season. A $100 wager on Heinen would have netted a $5,000 total payout.

    The Bruins continue their five-game homestand when they host the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night. Puck drop from TD Garden is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET, and you can catch all the action, plus an hour of pregame coverage, on NESN.
