BOSTON (AP) — Morgan Geekie scored a tiebreaking, power-play goal with 1:45 left in regulation, and the Boston Bruins beat Buffalo 3-1 on Saturday night, sending the Sabres to their 13th straight loss.
Charlie Coyle scored a first-period goal and Brad Marchand added an empty-netter for the Bruins, who improved to 10-4-1 under interim coach Joe Sacco.
JJ Peterka scored for Buffalo, which is on its worst stretch since a club-record 18-game losing streak (0-15-3) in 2021. The Sabres haven’t won since a victory at San Jose on Nov. 23.
Just as a power play was about to expire, Geekie one-timed a shot from the slot for the winner.
