PREGAME NOTES
- Something’s gotta give on Tuesday, as both the Bruins and Golden Knights will look to improve to 3-0-0 on the season. A win would match Boston's best start since 2001-02 when they began the season 3-0-0.
- It’s been a tale of two offenses between these clubs, as the Golden Knights have averaged 4.5 goals per game this season. Boston is averaging just 1.5 tallies through two matchups, but has benefitted from a strong start from both Tuukka Rask and Jaroslav Halak — with Boston’s netminders boasting a save percentage of .984.
- Rask will get the start in net Tuesday, while David Backes will slot back in on the fourth line in place of Par Lindholm … Boston is 3-1-0 against Vegas, including winning each of the past three games.
- Boston’s power play will look to get back on track, but will have to keep tabs on a Vegas PK that has already tallied three shorthanded goals.
