JUST GIVE THE ROCKET RICHARD TO HIM NOW ALREADY
There was also a lot of penalty killing…But no scoring. Ultimately, that would have ‘till the middle frame.
It’s a day ending in Y, and thus the B’s, deep in the Red Wings’ zone, managed to get the puck around the boards off to Elias Lindholm, and Morgan Geekie clocked in with a smart call to immediately sit out front on account of absolutely nobody within a mile of the net-front aside from Detroit’s netminder, allowing him to tip the puck home for a 1-0 Bruins lead!
The Wings, perhaps noticing they were down to a Bruins team down a David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy, decided that they were not going to take it lying down, and proceeded to lay siege on the Bruins defensive zone, finally cracking through the defensive effort on a failed clear that Emmett Finnie was able to send out to Dylan Larkin, who sent a shot out front to a swooping in Lucas Raymond, who tied the game on a deflection that you’d have to actively have psychic powers to stop. 1-1 Everybody.
Then, as time winded down, Ben Chiarot took a high sticking penalty, and that gave the B’s extremely scary power play, something that is not a joke to say in 2025-26, and Morgan Geekie got to take a nice, careful slapshot in a power play that felt like it was moving at half speed, which utterly flummoxed the Red Wings. 2-1 Bruins!
Unfortunately, the Wings pulled their goalie, and with only a couple of minutes left they tied it as an excellent Larkin pass got Patrick Kane and Michael Rasmussen on a 2-on-nobody, and Rasmussen parked his 6’6 keister in front of Swayman to redirect the puck in behind Swayman. 2-2 Everybody.
Guess we’re headed to Overtime.
There were 4 shots to 1 in favor of the Wings. Swayman stopped them all.
SKILLS COMP GO, CASEY SEND US HOME
The B’s will get a chance to play the Red Wings again on Tuesday, though this time in their home barn. That game is at 7pm EST.
