Bruins captain Zdeno Chara swung the puck behind the net to forward Karson Kuhlman, who moved it to David Krejci along the right boards.

Krejci threw a swift pass to DeBrusk in the slot. DeBrusk grabbed the puck while quickly spinning around Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore and fired a shot into the net that beat goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.

DeBrusk's score against the Golden Knights pushed his streak to five consecutive games with a goal. It was his 19th score of the season.

DeBrusk has 29 points (19 goals, 10 assists) in 52 games in the 2018-19 campaign.

The Bruins defeated the Golden Knights 3-2 in a shootout. Boston (36-17-8) is in second place in the Eastern Conference with 80 points.

The Bruins travel to St. Louis for a contest against the Blues on Saturday afternoon.
