The Vegas Golden Knights clinched a 2-1 overtime victory against the Boston Bruins with Jack Eichel scoring a power play goal (PPG), his 19th of the year, and Alex Pietrangelo securing the game-winning goal, his second of the season, just 46 seconds into overtime, assisted by Mark Stone. Logan Thompson, starting in net for the Knights, made key saves throughout the game, including a lunging save off his mask. The team's penalty kill was effective, and they capitalized on multiple power play opportunities. This win marked the Golden Knights' first overtime game since December 12th and the first of five consecutive home games.

The Golden Knights win their first of five straight home games with a thrilling overtime victory over the Boston Bruins. @nickwalt has your recap: https://t.co/XziVwinbCN
PETRO PUT βEM TO BED! https://t.co/EE704Rpz9b
Alex Pietrangelo tipped in a pass from Mark Stone on the first shot of overtime to lift the Golden Knights to a win over the Boston Bruins. #VegasBorn https://t.co/dqgenKJOnL
Wasn't gonna, but we will now. Twitter Space after postgame stuff. Should start in around 30-40 minutes. Come with questions, I want to hear other people talk tonight too.
Another big crowd of 18,200 plus with lots of Bruins fans here to see VGK win 2-1 in OT on Petro goal. Vancouver has 6-point lead on Vegas.
It went on a long time before either team scored, but the Golden Knights eventually secured a 2-1 victory in overtime over Boston https://t.co/nNPLRd4Eda
At least it was brief. Bruins lose third straight in OT. VGK, 2-1.
Tap in to this win! πΈ Alex Pietrangelo scores the @SUBWAYCanada OT winner for the Golden Knights! https://t.co/abAUJ6x5nO
Hard to believe but that was only Pietrangelo's second goal of the season. Two important points for VGK as they try to survive this onslaught of injuries/illnesses.
Mark Stone catches Pastranak napping and then sends a perfect pass over to Pietrangelo for the tap-in winner. From Stone and Eichel being injured in the 2nd to the two of them setting up the two goals to win the game. Boy did the Golden Knights need that one.
VGK walks it off. Bruins drop their third straight in the extra session. Their lead over the Panthers in the Atlantic is now down to one point.
Alex Pietrangelo, 46 seconds, from Mark Stone. Golden Knights win 2-1.
next goal wins π€
OT Game! Pick the game-winning goal scorer and the time of the goal. VGK players only. No shootout. Closest wins a SinBin magnet.
we're going to https://t.co/nIbTWqGUf6
VGK played 11 OT games in their first 30. They'll head to the extra frame for the first time since December 12th tonight.
For the first time since Dec. 12, the Golden Knights will play overtime hockey.
it wasn't 1-1 but now it is :(
Well. Now they have even more work to do. We're tied. 1-1 https://t.co/ZvccIwfh54
The Golden Knights get the kill.

THAT'S ALL-STAR JACK EICHEL, TO YOU π° https://t.co/Q1FE9CoVsI
Cotter owes him one too now. https://t.co/DgEMEqhYLv
BOS has really turned it up since the goal. VGK have a lot of work to do to get to the finish line here.
in this fortress we stan jack eichel
The Knights break through as Eichel beats Swayman for the PPG and a 1-0 lead with just under 13 minutes remaining. His 19th of the year.
Told you! Eichel taps one under Swayman and VGK have the lead. https://t.co/9fO5QBtoaZ
Heinen back to the box for the second time this period. Golden Knights are, once again, getting another chance at the power play.
our power plays keep coming https://t.co/JvT4uSFAzF
Heinen trips up Whitecloud. Vegas back to the power play. It really would be awesome if they Golden Knights could score on this power play.
VGK will give the power play thing a 5th try tonight. BOS's PK is excellent, but eventually the dam has to break.
Vegas get the kill on the second Bruins power play.
shout out the penalty kill! π
Back to even strength as Knights kill the minute of Barbashev's minor.
Bruins to the box. Danton Heinen for hooking. Vegas to the power play. It would be something if they can get one here.
Fourth power play of the night for the Golden Knights coming up. Heinen to the box.
Logan Thompson makes a lunging save. Takes it right off the mask. Logan Skates to the bench to get a new bucket. Heβs staying in the game.
Right off the mask. But looks like he's staying in the game. https://t.co/Yf2MvoI3rR
"I think we're playing a little bit more to our identity tonight... hopefully we can bear down on one of these chances." π Nic Hague with @Dan_DUva and @garylawless on the @GoldenKnights' first two periods against Boston. https://t.co/vr1MsfunET
Mark Stone is in the game for the Knights. That's a huge sigh of relief you heard from the VGK locker room if you're watching the broadcast.....but now Logan Thompson is trying to shake something off after making a save
End of the first, 0-0. Quite a few chances for the Golden Knights in the first period, but they canβt break through. Both goalies dialed in.
Logan Thompson will start in net for the Golden Knights against Boston.
Jack Eichel. 1-0. Golden Knights look energetic early.
