Golden Knights Game 68, Big Bad; Lines, Notes, & How to Watch vs Bruins

The Vegas Golden Knights (39-20-8) kick off a three-game homestand. They’re looking to right the ship after a poor road trip where they went 1-1-2. They’ll host the floundering Boston Bruins (30-30-9) tonight at T-Mobile Arena.

The puck drops just after 7 p.m.

The Golden Knights played back-to-back games last weekend and have been off since. On Saturday, they suffered a late collapse against the Buffalo Sabres and lost in a shootout. They followed that performance up with a 3-0 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. They’ll look to rebound tonight.

The Bruins enter Thursday’s game having lost three in a row, all to Atlantic Division rivals. Most recently, they lost 3-2 to the Buffalo Sabres in overtime on Monday. The Bruins still have a slight chance to make the postseason; to keep their playoff hopes alive, they’ll need a win.

Adin Hill starts in net for the Golden Knights. Hill has a record of 0-3-0 and an average save percentage of .846 in three career games against the Bruins. 

Jonas Korpisalo started for the Bruins on Monday, so Adin Hill can expect to face Jeremy Swayman. Swayman has a record of 2-2-2 and an average save percentage of .897 in six career games against the Golden Knights.
