Morgan Geekie Propels Bruins to 3-1 Victory Over Avalanche

Geekie’s two third-period goals and Pastrnak’s standout performance secure Boston’s comeback win at TD Garden.

Morgan Geekie scored twice in the third period, including the game-winner, to lead the Boston Bruins to a 3-1 victory over the Colorado Avalanche.
David Pastrnak assisted on both of Geekie’s goals and added an empty-net goal, extending his point streak to seven games with six goals and 10 assists during that span.
Jeremy Swayman returned from injury to make 27 saves, helping Boston secure its 10th win in the last 12 home games and improve to 25-20-6 on the season.
Colorado’s Artturi Lehkonen opened the scoring early in the second period, but the Avalanche failed to capitalize on two power-play opportunities and suffered their third consecutive loss.
The game marked the Avalanche debuts of Martin Necas and Jack Drury, acquired in a trade involving Mikko Rantanen, but the team continued to struggle with consistency.
