"Cole Caufield served notice that Team USA made a grave mistake leaving him off the Olympic team, but Morgan Geekie's deuce trumped the brilliant Montreal Canadiens forward's hat trick in the Bruins' thrilling come-from-behind 4-3 win at TD Garden on Saturday night. The previously slumping Geekie scored two goals, including the game-winner late in the third period that was hammered so hard that no one saw the puck go in the net."
"Maybe the B's should have started something right away because the Habs were much sharper in the opening period and they took the first lead of the game at 6:36. Facing four Bruins defenders at the top of the Boston zone, Caufield slipped through the fence to get behind without the puck after defenseman Mike Matheson gained the blue line. Matheson flipped a pass just off the ice that eluded Jonathan Aspirot's reach and landed on the stick of Caufield, whose quick snap shot beat Jeremy Swayman high to the glove side."
Morgan Geekie scored twice, including a late, hard-shot power-play winner, to give the Boston Bruins a 4-3 comeback victory over the Montreal Canadiens. Cole Caufield recorded a hat trick and gave the Canadiens an early lead, as Montreal controlled much of the opening period and outshot Boston. The Bruins converted three power-play goals to rally from a second-period deficit, marking their first such comeback of the season. The win moved Boston within a point of Montreal in the Atlantic Division standings. David Pastrnak ripped a shot in the final minute of the first period that many thought went in.
