Morgan Geekie scored two of three Boston Bruins power-play goals in a 4-3 comeback win against the Montreal Canadiens at TD Garden in Boston on Saturday. Charlie McAvoy had three assists, Fraser Minten had a goal and an assist, and Jeremy Swayman made 22 saves for Boston (30-20-2), which has won consecutive games, and eight of nine.

Aspirot gives away four inches and nine pounds to the Montreal forward, so he grabbed him by the back of the neck to negate Dach’s reach advantage. It was more stand-up wrestling than punch trading. Neither landed anything more than inside jabs. Aspirot pulled Dach down, but ended up on the bottom.

The Bruins are not all that far behind, but they are also fighting to simply stay in a playoff spot. With wins in eight of the team’s previous 10 games, Boston is fifth in the division, holding onto the second Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Charlie McAvoy pushed the puck over to Geekie by the left point, where he ripped it home for the final 4-3 scoreline at 14:07, and his 28th tally of the year, which is a team-high. It also marked Geekie’s 100th career goal and gave him the lead for most PPG on the Bruins with 10.

The red-hot Boston Bruins (29-20-2, 60 points), with nine wins in their last 11 games, host their Atlantic Division rivals when the Montreal Canadiens (28-16-7, 63 points) come to TD Garden on Saturday night.

Montembeault needed to make a big save or two in the third period to keep the comeback hope alive, and he came up large stopping Alex Tuch on a shorthanded breakaway. Sabres scored an empty-netter to seal a 4-2 victory.

The idea of Artemi Panarin in Montreal with the Canadiens might make some fans’ heads spin. The skill, the highlights, the instant respect he commands are all tempting.
