Boston’s potent top line exploded into life and punished the Vegas Golden Knights who held a 2-0 lead in the first period, but the big hitters of the Bruins proved too hot to handle and a poor night from the bottom six also didn’t help matters.
The Golden Knights are now 2-1-0 after last night’s loss against what is an elite 3-0-0 Boston team, who will no doubt be a serious contender for the Stanley Cup Final again this year after making the Final in 2018-19.
Marc-Andre Fleury, making his third consecutive start, stopped 31 of the 35 shots he faced and the Knights’ top guns all delivered but the Bruins’ formidable top line is one of the best in the NHL for a reason and they woke from their slumber to inflict some serious damage on Vegas.
