James Hagens scored for Boston, Elias Lindholm had an assist, and Morgan Geekie recorded a point, while Trevor Connelly scored for Vegas and Mitch Marner posted two assists and two points. Boston’s edge in faceoff win percentage, takeaways, and giveaways helped it manage possession, while Vegas stayed close with more hits and blocked shots. Both teams scored once on the power play.
