With a cold New England winter on the horizon, it may behoove New England officials to see how they can tap into Morgan Geekie’s heat source to lower energy bills across the region.
(That will be my platform when I run for President of New England, don’t steal it.)
Geekie scored twice for the B’s last night, including the game-winning goal in overtime, to lift the Bruins to a 2-1 win over the Kings.
The goals were Geekie’s 15th and 16th of the season, putting him in a tie for first in the league in that category.
Raise your hand if you had “Geekie in the Rocket Richard hunt at American Thanksgiving” on your bingo card.
Jeremy Swayman made 31 saves in the win, including 14 in the third period alone.
Nikita Zadorov collected two assists, while David Pastrnak and Alex Steve had one assist apiece.
The game would remain scoreless for nearly two and a half periods before Geekie got the scoring started with a booming slapshot from just inside the blue line. 1-0 Bruins.
The B’s had a power play and a chance to double their lead late in the third; instead, they allowed a shorthanded goal to Joel Armia to make it a 1-1 game.
Geekie would strike again halfway through overtime, beating Darcy Kuemper with a snap shot from the circle to end the game.
The B’s will be off on Saturday before ending the California trip on Sunday night in San Jose.
