After coming from a three-game road trip after going 2-1-0 with wins over the St. Louis Blues and Winnipeg Jets before a loss to the Minnesota Wild, the Boston Bruins kicked off a five-game homestand before Christmas against the Utah Mammoth on Tuesday night.
The game was a rough start for the Black and Gold, and they looked like a team coming off a long road trip in the first period. They fell behind 1-0 after the Mammoth scored on the power play, but that was all that Jeremy Swayman would allow.
Morgan Geekie tied the game late in the first period on the power play with his 23rd goal of the season.
