Bruins 3, Avalanche 2

 

BRUINS WIN! Boston snaps its six-game losing streak and bounces back with a win over the Colorado Avalanche, the team that beat them, 4-1, last week. We're back, baby! Nothing but W's and Bruin goals from here on in!

Viktor Arvidsson got his first goal as a Bruin in the first period, and within a minute Michael Eyssimont got the Bruins' second goal. Geekie scored again, his 6th of the season, in the second.  The Avalanche scored a cheap-ass goal after pulling their goalie in the closing seconds of the game, so the final score makes the game look closer than it was. Swayman averaged .935 in the net with 29 saves.  

Colorado (5-1-3) hasn't won a game since beating the Bruins last weekend. Don't poke the bear, boys!  

Boston (4-6-0) has eight points on the season, which moves them up to fifth place in the Atlantic, four points back from Montreal (6-3-0). Their next game is at Ottawa on Monday (7:30 pm) against the Senators (3-4-1).
