Boston Bruins' Lightning-Fast Start Puts Vegas on the Backburner, Leads to 4-3 Win Over Golden Knights
In a thrilling display of speed and precision, the Boston Bruins got off to an electrifying start Thursday night at TD Garden, scoring three goals in just 54 seconds to propel their team to a 4-3 victory over the Las Vegas Golden Knights.
The on-fire Bruins burst into action with a blistering pace that left Vegas reeling. Charlie McAvoy, Elias Lindholm, and Tanner Jeannot all notched goals within a minute of each other, sending the energy in the packed arena into a frenzy.
The game's sparkplug, David Pastrnak, orchestrated the early onslaught, delivering a wicked pass to McAvoy for the first goal. Then, in quick succession, Lindholm capitalized on a slick sequence involving McAvoy, Pastrnak, and Morgan Geekie to double the lead. Finally, Jeannot's thunderous shot from beneath the crossbar made it 3-0 Boston just 54 seconds into the game.
The Golden Knights refused to let the Bruins' early onslaught go unchallenged, however. Vegas stormed back with a trio of goals in the third period, narrowing the deficit to 3-2.
Despite the late surge from the visitors, Boston's team showed remarkable resilience and composure under pressure, ultimately securing their fourth straight win at home. Joonas Korpisalo made several spectacular saves to preserve the lead for his team, while Pastrnak sealed the deal with a precision strike in the second period.
The Bruins' victory marked their ninth win in as many games against the Golden Knights, and head coach Bruce Cassidy's side will now look forward to hosting the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night.

Like they just took over the game in a split second 
. I've never seen anything like it before! The energy in that arena must have been electric 
. And to be honest, Vegas didn't stand a chance 
, they got outplayed big time 
. David Pastrnak is just on fire this season 
, his passing game is insane! 
Joonas Korpisalo making those saves was clutch too 
, I love how his team came from behind to win it. It's gonna be a great rivalry between the Bruins and Golden Knights all season 
.
charlie mcavoy elias lindholm & tanner jeannot all scoring goals in a row is crazy talk! and david pastrnak is literally the mastermind behind this whole thing 
i loved how the team showed composure under pressure though, it's not always easy to keep that confidence when u're up by 2 goals 
bruce cassidy must be so proud of his squad 
. but the thing is, even though the Golden Knights made a comeback, it wasn't enough... because in the end, it's not about how hard you hit, but how well you recover 
. and that's what the Bruins showed - they didn't get rattled, they just kept pushing forward 
?
️!!! i mean, 3 goals in like 54 seconds is insane! charlie mcavoy, elias lindholm, and tanner jeannot all came out of nowhere to score, what a team effort 
. and that joonas korpisalo is a beast in net, i mean, who else can make those kinds of saves 
? anywayz, 9 wins in a row against the golden knights is looking good for the bruins 
. got my eye on this series now 
, his passing game is so sharp it'll cut you 
. And I love how Joonas Korpisalo stepped up and made those clutch saves to keep the Bruins ahead
