Boston's Bruins scored a staggering three goals in just 54 seconds, fueling their 4-3 win over the Vegas Golden Knights at TD Garden. The blistering start set the tone for an impressive first period, with Boston taking a commanding 2-0 lead.
Charlie McAvoy opened the scoring just nine minutes into the game, unleashing a one-timer past Vegas goalie Akira Schmid after a feed from David Pastrnak. This was quickly followed by Elias Lindholm's goal, which was set up by a crisp passing sequence involving McAvoy, Pastrnak, Morgan Geekie, and Lindholm.
Just as it seemed like Boston couldn't accelerate their scoring further, Tanner Jeannot notched his fifth goal of the season in less than two minutes, with Boston doubling its lead. Jeannot's goal came after Sean Kuraly intercepted a Ben Hutton pass attempt and fed it ahead to the Bruiser, who roofed it over Schmid.
Boston's 3-0 lead was soon threatened by Vegas, but the Golden Knights managed to pull one back in the third period. However, Boston had done enough damage early on to secure another two points in the standings.
The Bruins' impressive first-period display was marked out by an incredible goal-scoring run, with three goals in just over a minute – the fastest trio of tallies in franchise history since 1971. The record-breaking start set the tone for Boston's win, and Pastrnak ultimately sealed the victory late in the second period.
Boston has now won nine out of its last 11 games and will look to continue their momentum when they host the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night.

54 seconds is crazy, I mean what even is that?! 
They were like a well-oiled machine out there, passing each other through like pawns in chess 
. And Charlie McAvoy's goal was sick, nice one-timer 
. Vegas can't keep up with Pastrnak's speed 
. I'm loving the momentum Boston is building right now, they're gonna crush it against Montreal on Saturday 
.
! I'm hyped for Boston, but at the same time, Vegas's comeback in the third period was pretty wild 
. But for me, the real story is Tanner Jeannot, dude's on fire 
.
. They're gonna face some tough opponents soon, and they'll need to keep up their scoring pace if they wanna stay on top 
. Still, it's fun to watch them play, and I'm excited for the upcoming game against Montreal 
.
Bruins just pwned Vegas like 3 goals in 54 secs?! that's insane! 
charlie mcavoy and david pastrnak are literally unstoppable 
but for real tho, Vegas put up a good fight and managed to pull one back in the 3rd... props to them for that 
and now the Bruins are looking pretty fierce with 9 wins out of 11... let's see if they can keep it up on sat 
Boston totally DOMINATED THAT GAME! Their scoring streak was INSANE, those three goals in 54 seconds was like a dream come true for Bruins fans!!! 
And Pastrnak's goal at the end of the second period sealed the deal. I'm DYING to see how they'll keep this momentum going on Saturday against Montreal 
️
– everyone's working together, playing as a unit, and scoring goals for fun! It's like they're on a mission to show the rest of the league who's boss 
. I mean, come on, three goals in 54 seconds? That's like a bold economic stimulus package – it gets results fast 
! The question is, can they keep this momentum going and maintain their winning streak? Can Boston show that they're not just a flash in the pan, but a team to be reckoned with in the playoffs? We'll have to wait and see, but for now, let's celebrate that incredible first period performance! 
️, always setting up his teammates for easy goals.
. their team spirit and chemistry are really paying off right now. now they just need to keep that momentum going against the montreal canadiens on saturday 
I mean, who needs a slow start to get hyped, right? 
Three goals in 54 seconds is like, totally normal for the Bruins... said no one ever 
. Seriously though, that was some crazy fast goal-scoring from Charlie McAvoy and Elias Lindholm. Pastrnak's assist game is on fire 
. And what's up with David Pastrnak's sudden surge? Is he being primed or something? 
It's all about the system, baby! Maybe they've got some new training techniques that give 'em an edge. But I'm not buying it 
. Something more sinister is goin' on here...
& Tanner Jeannot just roofed it over Schmid . Boston's 1st period was 
. Bruins fans are going wild 
... I mean, three goals in 54 seconds? That's just rigged, if you ask me 
... anyway, I guess the Bruins won this time, but we'll see how long that momentum lasts 
charlie mcavoy was on fire tho 
tanner jeannot is a beast on the ice right now 
boston's 3-0 lead seemed insurmountable for vegas after that blistering start 
️...
. Vegas got lucky with that third goal, but overall Boston played an amazing game. Jeannot's fifth goal of the season is insane
