David Pastrnak collected the puck behind the Colorado and drew the attention of the Avalanche defense as he moved toward the front. He fed Geekie, who tapped it in, 5:44 into the third period to give the Bruins a 2-1 lead. They held on from there until Pastrnak sealed it with an empty-netter.

The Bruins looked overmatched for two periods, but Morgan Geekie scored two third period goals to lift the B’s to a 3-1 win.
