"Boston Bruins Casey Mittelstadt and Michael Eyssimont also scored goals, and David Pastrnak had a pair of assists. BOSTON (AP) - Morgan Geekie scored a pair of goals and Jeremy Swayman stopped 20 shots on Tuesday night to help the Boston Bruins beat Utah 4-1 for their fifth win in their last six games. Casey Mittelstadt and Michael Eyssimont also scored goals, and David Pastrnak had a pair of assists as the Bruins returned from a three-game road trip to open a five-game homestand with a victory."
"Hayton was to Swayman's right when he flipped a pass from Sean Durzi past the goalie on a power play to make it 1-0 midway through the first period. Boston tied it with four minutes left in the first when the Bruins earned a man advantage and Pastrnak zipped the puck across the ice to Geekie, catching Vanecek out of position. Just 23 seconds into the second period, Pastrnak skated out toward the blue line, then spun and wristed it toward Vanecek, who was screened by Geekie."
"It stayed that way until the midpoint of the third when Mittelstadt crossed the puck to Pavel Zacha, whose shot went off the boards behind the net and bounced to the other side for Mittelstadt to slam it in. Eyssimont got behind the defense with four minutes left to make it 4-1. Mammoth visit Detroit on Wednesday night. Bruins host Edmonton on Thursday night."
Morgan Geekie scored two goals and Jeremy Swayman made 20 saves as the Boston Bruins beat Utah 4-1. Casey Mittelstadt and Michael Eyssimont also scored for Boston, and David Pastrnak recorded two assists. Barrett Hayton scored for the Mammoth, and Vitek Vanecek finished with 19 saves. Charlie McAvoy returned to TD Garden after missing nearly a month following facial surgery and wore a face shield. Pastrnak set up Geekie’s tying goal late in the first and helped create Geekie’s second early in the second. Mittelstadt and Eyssimont added third-period insurance goals.
