"With score tied 3-3 in the third period, Viktor Arvidsson took an offensive zone tripping penalty at 1:37 and the Ducks made them pay. Troy Terry made a beautiful backhand pass through a crowd to Mikael Granlund and the veteran potted an easy goal into the half-empty net. With Charlie McAvoy in the box, Fraser Minten had a shorthanded bid to tie it up when he stole the puck at the blue line but on his breakaway chance, he could not lift his backhand attempt over goalie Petr Mrazek."
"But, for all their warts, the Bruins have resilience. They scored two goals in 25 seconds to tie the game. First, David Pastrnak scored on a long-range wrister on the power play and then, with 5:03 left in regulation, Morgan Geekie scored his second of the game when he took a feed from a rushing Nikita Zadorov. But in a flashback from Tuesday's debacle against Florida, they handed the lead right back 55 seconds later. Both McAvoy went over to Mason Lohrei's side of the ice to defend Nikita Nesterenko, leaving Terry wide open in front - and he buried it."
The Bruins fell 7-5 to the Anaheim Ducks after giving up three third-period goals and an empty-netter, marking a sixth consecutive defeat. Key moments included a 3-3 game-changing tripping penalty by Viktor Arvidsson that led to a Mikael Granlund goal and a missed shorthanded breakaway by Fraser Minten. Sam Colangelo followed with a goal to extend the lead. Boston rallied with goals from David Pastrnak and Morgan Geekie to tie the game, but Troy Terry scored shortly after to retake the lead. The loss raises concerns about personnel and lineup decisions moving forward.
