The Vegas Golden Knights made former Boston coach Bruce Cassidy’s return a success, beating the Bruins in a shootout to end their NHL-record for home victories to open a season at 14 games.
Smith had the only score in the shootout, slipping a forehand shot past Jeremy Swayman.
Cassidy took over as Boston’s interim coach on Feb. 7, 2016, before getting the head job that April. His teams made the playoffs all six seasons, including a trip to the 2019 Stanley Cup Final when they lost the seventh game at home against St. Louis. The Bruins’ home-opening streak broke the record of 11 that was set by the 1963-64 Chicago Blackhawks and equaled by the Florida Panthers last season.Cotter collected William Karlsson’s pass inside the left circle and unloaded a wrister under the crossbar 1:36 into the game.
Marchessault stole Pastrnak’s attempted clearing pass, broke in alone and tucked in his own rebound to make it 2-0. Cotter’s second came 51 seconds into the second period when he slipped a wrister past Swayman’s glove.The Bruins played a video montage of Cassidy on the Jumbotron late in the opening period that ended with a picture of him and said: “Welcome back, Bruce.”Cassidy finished tied for third on the Bruins’ coaching list with Hall of Famer Milt Schmidt at 245 victories, behind Claude Julien’s 419 and Art Ross with 387.
