Golden Knights become 1st team in 91 years to win 4 of first 5 NHL games

With each win, the Vegas Golden Knights keep making history.

The Knights became the third team in NHL history to record four wins in the first five games of their inaugural season, according to NHL Public Relations. The only other franchises to do so were the 1917-18 Montreal Canadiens and the 1926-27 New York Rangers.

Though a road tilt with Dallas to begin the season was certainly a challenge right out of the gate, Vegas' matchup against the Bruins on Sunday night represented its first meeting with a 2016-17 playoff team.

The Golden Knights controlled the better part of the game, jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the second period and never looking back, winning 3-1 and outshooting the Corsi-darling Bruins 26-22.

They could very well be favored to win their next matchup (against the Sabres), but the Golden Knights will then face the Blues and Blackhawks - legitimate tests for the early-season Cinderella.
