Vegas Golden Knights vs. Boston Bruins preview

The struggling Bruins roll into T-Mobile Arena looking to snap a brutal three-game losing streak that's seen them give up 15 goals - not exactly the momentum you want heading into Vegas.

While the Golden Knights haven't exactly been lighting it up lately with just one win in their last five, they're still perched atop the Pacific Division and their home ice advantage could prove crucial in this cross-conference clash.

Boston's defensive woes have been amplified by the absence of Charlie McAvoy and the season-ending injury to Hampus Lindholm, though Morgan Geekie has been a bright spot up front with his recent goal and assist against Buffalo.

The Knights' netminder Adin Hill has been rock-solid in March with a .929 save percentage, which could spell trouble for a Bruins offense that's been sputtering at just 2.70 goals per game.

Last month's 4-3 thriller in Boston showed these teams can put on a show, and with Vegas's offense ranking sixth in the league, we might be in for another barn-burner.

Keep an eye on how the Knights adjust without defenseman Shea Theodore, though their depth should help cushion that blow.

The contrast between Boston's road struggles and Vegas's offensive firepower at T-Mobile Arena makes this one particularly intriguing - especially with both teams desperate to right their respective ships.

With Jeremy Swayman's recent struggles between the pipes for Boston, this could be the perfect opportunity for Vegas to rediscover their scoring touch after getting blanked by Detroit.
