Bruins Sneak Past Golden Knights, 3-2

Nicolas Hague recorded his first NHL for the Vegas Golden Knights (25-20-7) but it wasn't enough as the team was topped by the Boston Bruins (29-10-12), 3-2, on Tuesday night at TD Garden.
HOW IT WENT DOWN
Vegas had the start it wanted as Mark Stone snuck home the game's first goal just 1:24 into the contest. Midway through the frame, Boston leveled the score as Jeremy Lauzon netted his first goal of the season. After Hague connected on a power play in the second period, the Bruins received third period strikes from Jake DeBrusk and David Krejci to take a 3-2 lead. Boston held on for the one-goal win despite a late push from the Golden Knights.
