SEASON SERIES
The Golden Knights defeated the Boston Bruins, 6-5, on Oct. 16, 2025, at T-Mobile Arena in their first matchup of the season. Boston opened the scoring early, but Vegas responded behind goals from Pavel Dorofeyev and Cole Reinhardt to head into the first intermission tied, 2-2. Jack Eichel and Tomas Hertl scored early in the second, including a power-play tally from Hertl, while William Karlsson added a shorthanded goal to give the Golden Knights a 5-3 advantage through two frames. Vegas extended its lead to three in the third period on a power-play goal from Karlsson, assisted by Eichel and Mitch Marner. The Bruins made a late push with goals from Mark Kastelic and Michael Eyssimont, but the Golden Knights held on to secure the 6-5 victory.
OPPOSITION UPDATE
The Bruins currently sit fifth in the Atlantic Division with a 28-20-2 record and 58 points in the 2025-26 season. Boston’s offense has produced 164 goals, while the team has allowed 155 goals against through 50 games. It’s been a rollercoaster of a campaign, as Boston has strung together two separate win streaks of six or more games as well as two losing streaks with six or more games. The Bruins enter Thursday having lost their most recent contest, a 6-2 defeat to the Dallas Stars, snapping a six-game winning streak. Prior to the loss in Dallas, Boston earned a 4-2 win over the Seattle Kraken. Boston’s offense is led by David Pastrnak, who tops the team with 60 points (20G, 40A), followed by Morgan Geekie with 43 points (26G, 17A), and Pavel Zacha with 35 points (14G, 21A).

KEYS TO THE GAME
Use the Extra Man: The Golden Knights own the fourth-best power play in the league in the new year (33.3%) but went 1-7 in Monday’s loss to Philadelphia. Re-centering their identity on special teams with quicker puck movement, traffic at the crease, and chances generated below the goal line will allow Vegas to push Boston when opportunities arise and create an early edge on the board.
Lean on the Top Dogs: While depth scoring has fueled Vegas’ recent success in part, the Golden Knights’ elite skill has been the engine behind their offensive surge. Continuing to play through Jack Eichel, Mark Stone, Mitch Marner, Tomas Hertl and Shea Theodore will stretch Boston’s defensive structure and make every line defend, opening space and quality looks for all 12 forwards and six defensemen.
