Geekie has scored eight goals in his past six games and has 20 on the season, which is tied with Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche for the NHL lead.<\/p>\n
Jeremy Swayman made 24 saves and stopped all three attempts he faced in the shootout for the Bruins (15-12-0), who had lost four of six, including 6-2 to the New York Rangers on Friday. Elias Lindholm had two assists.<\/p>\n
Lucas Raymond and Michael Rasmussen scored, and Dylan Larkin had two assists for the Red Wings (13-11-2), who have lost four in a row (0-3-1). Cam Talbot made 17 saves.<\/p>\n
Geekie gave the Bruins a 1-0 lead at 4:25 of the second period. Red Wing defenseman Ben Chiarot tried to clear the puck up the right boards, but it went right to Lindholm, who sent a quick one-timer toward the net, where Geekie redirected it short side on Talbot.<\/p>\n
Raymond tied it 1-1 at 6:38 of the third period, chipping in a slap pass from Larkin at the left post.<\/p>\n
Geekie put the Bruins back in front 2-1 at 13:39, scoring a power-play goal with a one-timer from the left circle.<\/p>\n
Boston was 1-for-2 on the power play. Detroit was 0-for-5.<\/p>\n
Rasmussen tied it 2-2 at 18:06, tapping in a centering pass from Patrick Kane with Talbot pulled for the extra skater. The goal came shortly after Alex Steeves missed on his backhand attempt at the empty net.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Geekie has scored eight goals in his past six games and has 20 on the season, which is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":317774,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-317773","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317773","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=317773"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317773\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/317774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=317773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=317773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=317773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
