The Boston Bruins struck early and held off the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3, securing their ninth win in 11 games. A three-goal flurry in a span of 54 seconds in the first period set the tone for the game.
Charlie McAvoy started the goal streak, blasting one from just inside the blue line for his fourth goal of the season. This was followed by Elias Lindholm scoring between the circles for his ninth goal of the season, both power-play goals assisted on by David Pastrnak. Pastrnak also scored later in the period, giving Boston a 4-0 lead after two periods.
The Golden Knights cut the deficit in half during the third period with goals from Jack Eichel and Tomas Hertl. They made it three straight when Pavel Dorofeyev scored with 2:35 left in the game with goalie Akira Schmid off for an extra skater. The Bruins held on to win, thanks in part to Joonas Korpisalo making 29 saves.
The victory marks Boston's ninth win in 11 games, a testament to their recent hot streak.

I'm loving the Bruins' recent form, they're really clicking on all cylinders right now! The way they were able to capitalize on those power-play opportunities was impressive 
. And yeah, that flurry in the first period was insane – it set the tone for the rest of the game and put pressure on Vegas from the get-go 
.
. And Joonas Korpisalo's performance in net wasn't too shabby either, 29 saves is no joke! 
Overall, it was a close game but Boston came out on top and their hot streak continues 
.
. Pastrnak is killing it this season, and it's awesome to see McAvoy step up his game too 
️. But you know what's even more impressive? The way they shut down those Golden Knights goals in the third. I'm talking about Korpisalo, that Finnish goalie is a beast 
! 29 saves in a tough game is just insane.
. One minute they're up by four goals and the next they're tied with two minutes to go... still love watching the Bruins play though! 
️! I think that's what made the Boston Bruins' win so exciting, they didn't give up even when they were down 2-0. And can you believe Elias Lindholm scored 9 goals this season?! That's like, crazy for a hockey game... I wish our school had more opportunities to play in big games like that 
!
!
. It's like they're playing a game of cat and mouse, where the offense is constantly trying to break through but the D is always one step ahead 
.
.
! Like, can't they just get those in regulation already?! 
And what's up with all these empty-netters at the end of the game? It's like, just shoot it out of bounds already 
. And don't even get me started on the goalie changes... 2:35 left in the game and Akira Schmid is off for an extra skater?! What's the strategy there? 
. I swear, sometimes these games are more about the goalie changes than actual hockey skills 
, 3 straight now and i'm thinking they might actually make a comeback... but Joonas Korpisalo was all over that ice 
, making some huge saves to seal the deal for Boston. love how the Bruins are rolling right now, 9 wins in 11 games is no joke 
! It reminds me of watching Patrick Roy and The Rocket go toe-to-toe with teams back in the day. These modern goalies are crazy talented, though - I mean, 29 saves by Joonas Korpisalo? That's like Mario Lemieux making impossible saves. And the Bruins' four-goal flurry in the first period was straight out of a classic NHL game 
And that Joonas Korpisalo in net making 29 saves? Guy's a brick wall 
. Vegas put up a good fight in the third but couldn't catch up. That Pavel Dorofeyev goal with the extra skater was sick tho
