With this goal, Geekie now has four goals to go along with six points over his last six contests. He also has scored in back-to-back games.
Bruins' Penalty Kill Bounces Back
The Bruins' penalty kill undoubtedly stepped up in this win against the Senators. They killed off all four of the Senators' power play opportunities, and this played a significant role in the win.
When noting that they allowed three power-play goals to the Devils last game, the Bruins' penalty kill bounced back big time in this one.
