David Pastrnak collected the puck behind the Colorado and drew the attention of the Avalanche defense as he moved toward the front. He fed Geekie, who tapped it in, 5:44 into the third period to give the Bruins a 2-1 lead. They held on from there until Pastrnak sealed it with an empty-netter.

The Bruins looked overmatched for two periods, but Morgan Geekie scored two third period goals to lift the B’s to a 3-1 win.

DiPietro was sent to AHL Providence on Friday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports. DiPietro was recalled by Boston on Thursday, and he served as the backup goaltender during the team's 2-0 win over Ottawa.

Jeremy Swayman returned to Boston practice on Friday and Michael DiPietro was back in Providence which likely signals a return toward goalie normalcy within the Bruins organization. Swayman left Wednesday’s loss to the Devils after the second period and didn’t dress for Thursday’s game against Ottawa causing the Bruins to summon DiPietro from the AHL.
