Game notes
- After a couple of days off in sunny Nevada, the Bruins begin a three-game road trip tonight by visiting the Pacific-leading Golden Knights.
- Fresh off of an eight-year, $108-million contract extension, Jack Eichel is off to a flying start for Vegas. The future Bruin (hey, it could still happen) has a whopping nine points in just four games, including four goals.
- High-profile acquisition Mitch Marner hasn’t scored yet for Vegas, but does have four assists to his name.
- Similar to Eichel, it’s been a hot start for Vegas winger Pavel Dorofeyev, who has five goals in his team’s first four games. He had a career-best 35 goals and 52 points last season.
- Former Bruin Jeremy Lauzon landed with Vegas this summer after four seasons in Nashville.
- The first four games of this season for Vegas have all featured some kind of intrigue or excitement. Their season-opener was a 6-5 shootout loss, followed by back-to-back OT games (one win, one loss). Vegas finally won a regulation game last time out, but that game saw them turn a 2-0 deficit into a 4-2 win.
- Goalie Adin Hill left that 4-2 win over Calgary with a lower-body injury. Massachusetts native Noah Hanifin has been injured since the season opener as well.
- For the Bruins, Hampus Lindholm traveled with the team and is questionable for tonight’s game. The Boston Globe guesses it may have been a hamstring injury for Lindholm, which is concerning, but better than something related to his knee injury from last year.
See
ya tonight!
