He was held without a point for the first eight games this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA good season so far,\u201d Svechnikov said. \u201cI just kept working and focused on what I can do. I know what kind of player I am, and I know what I\u2019m bringing to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/k-andre-miller-8480817\" title=\"K&#039;Andre Miller\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">K&#8217;Andre Miller<\/a> made it 2-0 at 11:38, getting the puck off the face-off at the left dot from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/jordan-staal-8473533\" title=\"Jordan Staal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jordan Staal<\/a>\u00a0in the offensive zone, and putting a snap shot through traffic over Swayman&#8217;s blocker.<\/p>\n<p>Geekie\u2019s 35th goal of the season made it 2-2 at 13:36. Pastrnak followed his own rebound behind the net and made a backhand pass to Geekie, who snapped a shot from below the right hash marks. The Boston forward had gone 17 games without a goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of players just swing away, but I was able to see him (Geekie),\u201d Pastrnak said. \u201cObviously, (if) he\u2019s that open, you want to give him the puck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Geekie\u2019s second goal gave the Bruins a 3-2 lead at 17:25. Pastrnak skated the puck through the neutral zone, made a move on Carolina defenseman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/jalen-chatfield-8478970\" title=\"Jalen Chatfield\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jalen Chatfield<\/a>\u00a0in the corner, then cut to the net before slipping the puck to Geekie at the top of the crease.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/logan-stankoven-8482702\" title=\"Logan Stankoven\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Logan Stankoven<\/a> scored the first of three Carolina goals in a span of 3:16 in the second period. Hall fed Stankoven for the one-timer from the high slot that got past Swayman&#8217;s glove on the power play to even it 3-3 at 5:17, giving him five goals in his past five games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey&#8217;re going to go in, and that\u2019s what\u2019s happening,\u201d Brind\u2019Amour said. \u201cIt was just a matter of time.
