The Boston Bruins overcame a 3-1 deficit against the Calgary Flames, tying the game in the third period before David Pastrnak scored the overtime winner. The Bruins' victory extends their recent success to six wins in their last eight games.
The Boston Bruins haven't been able to put back-to-back wins together very often this season, and through the first 40 minutes of Tuesday night's game against the Calgary Flames , it looked like the Original Six club would fail to win back-to-back matchups.
"They worked hard in the third period. We did it the right way. We generated a lot of quality chances. When you play that way, the result and the process usually takes care of itself."The Bruins have quietly won six of their last eight games and now own a 17-13-3 record in third place in the Atlantic Division. They are 2-2-0 on this five-game road trip, with the finale set for Thursday night against the Edmonton Oilers.
Pastrnak is starting to look more like himself offensively, and that's encouraging for the Bruins as they enter Thursday's showdown against the high-powered Oilers.Geekie was a valuable player for the Bruins last season with his ability to play center or on the wing, and provide much-needed scoring depth with a career-high 17 goals.
The B's didn't lead for a single second against the Flames. It was their fourth win of the season without leading for any amount of time. They've actually had zero seconds of lead time in four of their last five games.
