The Golden Knights raced out to an early 2-0 lead over the visiting Boston Bruins Tuesday night, but then Vegas relaxed and the Bruins scolred four straight goals in a 4-3 win
Brad Marchand had two strikes in the rally.
.”You’ve got to be able to win any type of game,” Marchand said. “We did a good job. It’s a tough building to play in. They play well at home. We had a good game.”
Tuukka Rask made 31 saves in the win.
David Pastrnak and Torey Krug also scored for the Bruins.
“They’re a great team,” Krug said. “We knew what they were going to bring. This game had the potential to go a lot of different directions. Obviously, being down early, being able to come back, winning a close game at the end, those are just some experiences that we’ll put in our pocket and use for another day.”
Mark Stone and Max Pacioretty had goals and multi-point nights for Vegas.
“We came out and had a very good start,” Pacioretty said. “It would’ve been nice to hold on to that start and maintain that intensity. We don’t want their top guys feeling good about themselves because it’s obvious what they can do.”
Reilly Smith also scored for the Knights.
“I think it was a wide-open game,” Smith said. “There were chances both ways. I don’t think it was a typical game for either team, but it seemed like they capitalized on their chances and we didn’t. There were a lot of opportunities tonight, but when you play that back-and-forth game, you leave it up to chance.”

Marc-Andre Fleury made 31 saves in the loss.
“We feel like we gift-wrapped them their goals,” Pacioretty said. “Definitely didn’t make it hard on them. After that, we put our foot on the gas, we were just a little too late.”
