Morgan Geekie’s first NHL hat trick led the Boston Bruins to a 5-4 win over the Vegas Golden Knights at the TD Garden on Thursday night.
It may not have been completely pretty, but the Bruins got the job done and in regulation. The B’s had to recover from a blown three-goal lead to close out the game in the third period and not head to extra minutes.
The B’s started strong, outshooting the Golden Knights heavily in the first period and ending the 20 minutes up 3-0 on two goals from Geekie and a one-timer rocket from Jesper Boqvist.
