LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — With the Fortress glowing green for the team's Golden Knights' St. Patrick's Day theme game, Vegas dominates the Boston Bruins 5-1 to open a three-game homestand victoriously and bounce back from two losses.
Pavel Dorofeyev started the scoring midway through the game, the VGK winger retaking a team lead of 28 goals this season. Dorofeyev struck again in the final minute of the 2nd, extending his career-high of goals scored to 29. A Brett Howden goal in the 3rd extended the Vegas lead to 3 while William Karlsson recorded his first point since January 7 in the original misfit's return from a two-month absence. Pavel Dorofeyev completes the hat trick in the 3rd, his third goal of the game completing the 24-year-old's second career hat trick and his first on home ice. Ivan Barbashev delivered the nail in the coffin with a goal late in the 3rd, a between-the-legs assist coming from Jack Eichel. Adin Hill and the VGK defense shut out the Bruins until the final two minutes of the game.

Last time out, the Golden Knights fell to the Detroit Red Wings, 3-0, Sunday night. However, Vegas still holds onto first place in the Pacific Division, keeping the position for 115 days this season, the most among all teams.
A VGK victory tonight would mark the teams 352nd win in franchise history, give the team a 6-7-1 all-time record against Boston, and give the Guys in Gold a 25-7-3 record at home.
The Golden Knights will host Go Green Knight in honor of St. Patrick’s Day and the first anniversary of The Knight SHIELD (Sustainability, Healthy Air, Improve & Inspire, Energy & Water Efficiency, Landscape Protection, and Decrease Waste Generation) Project that was launched in 2024.
