TD Garden rose as one as soon as Morgan Geekie’s wrist shot sailed into twine.
In the span of just 25 seconds, the Bruins erased what was a two-goal lead for the Anaheim Ducks in the third period — with tallies from Geekie and David Pastrnak knotting up a seesaw contest at 5-5 with just 5:03 left in regulation.
As the cheers rained down from the upper levels of Boston’s barn, the Bruins once again refused to roll over amid an uneven (and often frustrating) start to the season.
It took all of 30 seconds for that cacophony of jubilation to shift into stunned silence.
