The Bruins enter Game 3 with significant momentum following their 4-2 victory on Tuesday. Viktor Arvidsson was the catalyst in Game 2, netting two goals, including a third-period insurance marker just 16 seconds into the frame. Morgan Geekie contributed one of the most talked-about goals of the postseason—a backhand flip from center ice that hopped over Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen—while Pavel Zacha rounded out the scoring on the power play.
Thursday night’s matchup represents a massive opportunity for Boston to take its first lead of the series with the energy of a raucous TD Garden. Expect a high-intensity battle as the Sabres attempt to reclaim home-ice advantage in what has quickly become a physical and unpredictable first-round clash.
