Pastrnak Scores Lone Shootout Goal to Give Bruins 3-2 Win over Golden Knights
Forward David Pastrnak scored the deciding goal as the Boston Bruins defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 3-2 in a shootout on Monday night in Boston.
Early in the second period, Braeden Bowman was assessed a 5-minute major and a game misconduct for elbowing Matthew Poitras, who left the game and did not return.
The Bruins initially led 2-0 following Morgan Geekie's goal, but Mark Stone and Trevor Connelly scored for the Golden Knights to force overtime into a shootout.
Jeremy Swayman stopped three Vegas shooters to secure the win; the Bruins travel to Pittsburgh Penguins at PPG Paints Arena on Thursday.
The Golden Knights have lost five of their last six games since starting the season 8-2, while Boston celebrates its sixth consecutive home victory.
