The Bruins looked overmatched for two periods, but Morgan Geekie scored two third period goals to lift the B’s to a 3-1 win.

The Bruins, who had eight shots on goal through two periods, tied the game 1-1 when Geekie scored 25 seconds into the third period. Geekie then gave the Bruins a 2-1 lead at 5:44. Pastrnak controlled the puck behind the Colorado net, skated around Wedgewood's right side, and found Geekie on the far post for the backdoor tap-in goal.

Geekie, who has scored the Bruins first goal in three straight, has seven goals in January and 14 in his last 28 games.

The Boston Bruins didn’t get a ton of offense on Saturday afternoon at TD Garden, but Morgan Geekie supplied all they needed by scoring two goals in a 3-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche.

Morgan Geekie scored the game-tying and game-winning goals in the Boston Bruins’$2 3-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche Saturday. The Bruins have a fascinating decision to make on Geekie in the weeks to come: extend him or trade him at a high point.

Boston Bruins forward Morgan Geekie dropped a very stern message to the team, including captain Brad Marchand and interim head coach Joe Sacco after a harsh 5-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils.

David Pastrnak had a goal and two assists, and the Boston Bruins beat Colorado 3-1 on Saturday, a day after the Avalanche traded star winger Mikko Rantanen.

The Bruins have fought the injury bug while battling to remain among the NHL’s playoff contenders with under three months remaining in the regular season.

Geekie did not stop there, though, as he also scored the Bruins' game-winning at the 5:44 mark of the third period. Pastrnak once again set up Geekie with an outstanding feed, and Geekie snapped it home for his second of the game.
